Kolkata: India's engineering exports rising nearly 21 per cent year-on-year to USD 11.48 billion in June reflects the sector's resilience despite global uncertainties, EEPC India Chairman Pankaj Chadha said on Monday.

Commenting on the numbers, Chadha said the strong export growth came despite a challenging external environment and persistent global uncertainty, underscoring the resilience of India's engineering industry.

He attributed the double-digit growth to factors including free trade agreements with key partner countries, exporters' strategy of diversifying products and markets, and the rising global competitiveness of 'Brand India' engineering products.

"The strong performance of the sector reflects the collective efforts of industry and the government," Chadha said.
