During April-July 2025-26, exports were up 3.07% to $149.2 billion, while imports increased 5.36% to $244.01 billion.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Snapping a two-month declining streak, India\u2019s exports rose 7.29% to $37.24 billion in July, even as the trade deficit widened to an eight-month high of $27.35 billion during the month. Official data released on Thursday showed that imports grew 8.6% year-on-year to $64.59 billion in July 2025. The trade gap was the highest since November last year, when it stood at $31.77 billion.<\/p>\n

During April-July 2025-26, exports were up 3.07% to $149.2 billion, while imports increased 5.36% to $244.01 billion. This resulted in a trade deficit of $94.81 billion for the first four months of the fiscal year.<\/p>\n

Briefing the media on the figures, Commerce Secretary Sunil Barthwal said that despite global economic uncertainties, \u201cIndia\u2019s goods and services exports are doing well.” He added, \u201cExports have grown substantially, much higher than the global exports growth.”<\/p>\n

Key sectors driving the export recovery included engineering, electronics, gems and jewellery, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, ratings agency S&P Global<\/a> has upgraded India\u2019s sovereign rating to \u2018BBB\u2019 from its earlier \u2018BBB-\u2018 on Thursday, August 14, while maintaining the outlook as \u2018stable\u2019. The move comes a day ahead of India\u2019s 79th Independence Day.<\/p>\n

The short-term rating has also been revised to \u2018A-2\u2019 from \u2018A-3\u2019, and the transfer and convertibility assessment has been upgraded to \u2018A-\u2018 from \u2018BBB+\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndia is prioritising fiscal consolidation, demonstrating the government\u2019s political commitment to deliver sustainable public finances, while maintaining its strong infrastructure drive,” S&P said in a statement.<\/p>\n

S&P Global said the stable outlook reflects its view that \u201ccontinued policy stability and high infrastructure investment will support India\u2019s long-term growth prospects. That, along with cautious fiscal and monetary policy that moderates the government\u2019s elevated debt and interest burden will underpin the rating over the next 24 months”.<\/p>\n

In May 2024, the agency had shifted its outlook on the Indian economy to positive from stable, noting it could raise the sovereign rating if the fiscal deficit narrowed sufficiently for the net change in general government debt to fall below 7% of GDP on a structural basis.<\/p>\n
