Indian Export Performance in 2023-24 under Minister Piyush Goyal
In March 2024, India’s goods exports surged to a 12-month high at $41.68 billion, marking a significant achievement despite a slight decrease of 0.67% compared to the previous year. Notably, the goods trade deficit narrowed to $15.6 billion, the lowest in 11 months. This boost was largely propelled by a substantial decline in gold imports by 53.6%, offset by a remarkable 1059% increase in silver imports.
The easing of the goods trade deficit in March is anticipated to positively impact India’s current account balance in the final quarter of 2023-24. ICRA’s chief economist, Aditi Nayar, projects a potential small, transient surplus of about $1-2 billion in the quarter.
