India's overall exports (merchandise and services) increased by 6.2%, from USD 329.03 during AprilAugust 2024 to USD 349.35 billion during April-August 2025, driven by higher non-petroleum & non gems & jewellery exports during the same period, said PHDCCI chairman Hemant Jain. In August 2025, India's overall exports (merchandise and services combined) accelerated to USD 69.16 billion from USD 63.25 in August 2024, marking a 9.34% increase compared to the same month last year. This growth is driven by high merchandise exports of Electronic Goods, Engineering Goods, Gems & Jewellery, Petroleum Products and Drugs & Pharmaceuticals, among others, Jain noted.
