What happened
Piyush Goyal stated that India is on course to achieve a $1 trillion export target this financial year, noting that exports grew approximately 16% in recent periods. He also highlighted that India now has preferential access to around $25 trillion of international trade following the expansion of its Free Trade Agreement network. Separately, during its BRICS Chairship, India discussed strengthening industrial cooperation and building resilient value chains with BRICS nations.
Why it matters
The government is actively expanding its Free Trade Agreement network, which covers economies worth around $60 trillion under agreements made in the last four years. This expansion, combined with discussions on industrial cooperation among BRICS members, signals a push for increased global trade and supply chain resilience.
India is pursuing bilateral trade agreements and expanding Free Trade Agreements under the tenure of Narendra Modi, while the government addresses the impacts of El Nino on agriculture.
