Impressive show by exports in FY'11, grow 37% to $246 bn

NEW DELHI: India's exports rose by 43.9 per cent to $29.1 billion in March and ended the fiscal 2010-11 with a growth of 37.1 per cent at $245.9 billion, despite financial problems in Europe.

The trade figures were released here by Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma who said exports have done well in the past fiscal.

Exports had suffered in 2009-10 and at a mere $178 billion under the impact of global slowdown and the government had to intervene to help the exporters through different bailout packages.
