Q2 goods exports seen 4.2%: EXIM Bank

New Delhi: India’s merchandise exports growth may slow 4.2% on-year at $111.7 billion in the second quarter of FY25, down from 5.8% in the June quarter, the Export-Import Bank of India (Exim Bank) said Monday. Merchandise exports were $109.9 billion in April-June.

“Positive growth in India’s exports could be as a result of India’s continued strong economic activity backed by sustained momentum in manufacturing and services sector, expected global monetary easing and improving demand prospects in trading partners,” the bank said in a statement.

However, the outlook is subject to risks of uncertain prospects for advanced economies, geopolitical shocks, the middle east crisis, global supply chain disruptions and deepening geoeconomic fragmentation, among other factors.


“The positive growth rate in total merchandise exports and non-oil exports, as witnessed in the previous three quarters, are likely to continue,” it said.

Non-oil exports are expected to grow 6.26% on-year to $89.8 billion in the September quarter.
