India's goods exports crossed the $200-billion mark during the financial year up to August 21, reflecting a sustained rise of more than 15% in shipments, according to latest available data. A senior official, speaking anonymously, said exports during the third week of August were estimated at over $25 billion.
The growth has been driven mainly by petroleum products, with electronics also booming due to robust mobile phone exports. Engineering goods have further powered the expansion.
Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has set an ambitious target of taking goods and services exports to the $1-trillion mark for the first time. With the current pace, the government expects goods exports alone to breach the $500-billion level this fiscal year for the first time.
