Abstract

Exports have played an increasingly important role in India’s economic growth in the last two decades. This paper analyses the performance of India’s exports and the various economic factors which have contributed to its growth. Since manufactured exports comprise a significant share of India’s aggregate (merchandise) exports, the paper also provides an overview of the export performance of three important commodities; namely, gems and jewelry, cotton and electronic goods and concludes with key policy changes which could have a bearing on the current trends seen in these sectors.
