Key Points: Trends in India’s foreign Trade since 2001

India’s foreign trade has expanded sharply since liberalisation, with big shifts in what India exports and imports and where it trades.

  • On the export side, engineering goods, petroleum products, chemicals, gems and jewellery, and textiles/garments have become major earners, with engineering goods alone contributing about one‑fourth of exports by 2017‑18.
  • On the import side, petroleum remains the largest item, followed by gold, while the import shares of fertilisers and iron and steel have declined significantly over time.
