New Delhi, Nov 13, 2026 (ANI): Chief Economist at ASSOCHAM SP Sharma said, "India's exports are growing at a very fast pace, and we hope to achieve our target of 1 trillion this year. The export performance so far, which is from April to October, has seen very good growth. Nearly 569 billion.” “Last year, we achieved $863 billion, which was again an all-time high. This year, the target is $1 trillion in 2026–27. Again, we will make a new high, and India will cross the $1 trillion mark in its export trajectory for the first time. So, going forward, our exports will continue to progress. We have signed many free trade agreements. The free trade agreements signed in the last five to six years, from Mauritius to New Zealand, and those signed with Oman, the UAE, Australia and the UK, will bring us significant benefits in the coming years. We hope that India's export growth and export growth trajectory, which are a very strong foundation of our vision of a developed India, will support our progress towards the goal of a developed India in the coming years. Exports will also remain one of the major pillars of our growth journey towards a developed India...”
