Expressing optimism over India’s exports growth, the Export-Import Bank of India (Exim) has said India's merchandise exports would grow by 12.3 per cent year-on-year to $116.7 billion in the April-June quarter this fiscal (Q1FY25). It said these positive growth rates are expected to be witnessed in continuation of the positive growth witnessed during the last two quarters of the previous financial year.
It added that the positive growth in India's exports could be the result of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth fundamentals and outlook, and sustained momentum in the manufacturing and services sector.
It further said that the growth in exports is expected to continue to witness a positive momentum in the forthcoming quarters. However, it cautioned that the outlook is subject to risks of uncertain prospects for advanced economies, geopolitical shocks, and the Middle East crisis, leading to the intensification of the Red Sea crisis and deepening geoeconomic fragmentation, among other factors.
