India's merchandise shipments witnessed a decline in value terms in the three months between November and January.
Merchandise exports were $36.43 billion in January compared to $37.32 billion a year ago. In December, it stood at $38.01 billion against $38.39 billion in December 2023, while its outward shipments declined to $32.11 billion in November 2024 from $33.75 billion in the year-ago month.
Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal is expected to hold discussions with export promotion councils on Thursday on trade issues.
The meeting assumes significance as the minister has recently returned from Washington after holding trade talks with his US counterparts.
