Falling global demand, dip in oil and rupee appreciation major cause of export decline: Sitharaman

27 Jul 2015 Evaluate

Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has pointed to fall in global demand, dip in oil prices and appreciation of rupee against euro, as some of the major reasons for decline in India's exports. In June 2015, country’s exports declined by15.82% to $22.28 billion. Merchandise exports from India have been declining continuously for the previous seven months.  In last financial year, India’s share in world trade as per WTO was 2.06%.

Sitharaman further stated that fall in crude oil prices had resulted in consequent decline in prices as well as export realizations for petroleum products, while fall in demand of precious goods like pearls, precious and semi-precious stones, especially from oil producing countries was also one of the main reasons for decline in country’s exports.  

The minister added that European Union (EU) countries that account for nearly 16 per cent of country’s exports were facing problems of stagnation and deflation. The appreciation of the rupee against the euro had adversely impacted India's exports to EU countries. She also highlighted that government was continuously monitoring the export performance of different sectors to different countries and took need based measures from time to time.

In financial year 2015, the maximum exports were from Maharashtra, 23.47 per cent of the country's total exports, followed by Gujarat, 19.2 per cent; Tamil Nadu, 8.85 per cent and Karnataka, 7.61 per cent.
