Piyush Goyal Calls for Strategic Use of Free Trade Agreements as India’s Exports Cross 860 Billion Dollars

Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal urges exporters to leverage Free Trade Agreements as India’s exports surpass 860 billion dollars in 2025–26, aiming for a two trillion dollar target by 2030 through reforms and industry collaboration.

 

Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has urged exporters and industry bodies to fully leverage India’s Free Trade Agreements with developed economies to expand market access, boost exports, and generate employment opportunities.

Chairing a high-level meeting with Export Promotion Councils and industry associations in New Delhi, the minister highlighted that India’s total merchandise and services exports reached a record level of over 860 billion dollars in the financial year 2025–26. He emphasised that this milestone reflects the resilience of the country’s export sector despite prevailing global disruptions.

Mr Goyal noted that key sectors, including engineering goods, electronics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, gems and jewellery, and agri-based products, have maintained steady export momentum. He stressed that sustained performance across these sectors demonstrates the growing competitiveness and diversification of India’s export base.

Underscoring the long-term vision, the minister stated that the current achievement should serve as a foundation for reaching the ambitious target of two trillion dollars in exports by 2030. He reiterated that this objective aligns with the broader national goal of transforming India into a developed economy.
