Trade Promotion Council of India's (TPCI's) Founder Chairman Mohit Singla has said that the country's exports, which have recorded a growth of 5.4 percent in January, reflects the trade has been on the path of quick recovery. He said the exports have also recorded positive growth in December 2020 and it is a reflection that Indian products have been sustaining its global demand despite challenges.
Singla has stated that the figures clearly show that the global trade flow has been streamlining fast, and bottlenecks owing to the pandemic are easing out gradually. He also said that imports have also started picking up, reflecting a revival in the domestic market demand. He noted that among the top five commodity groups of export which recorded positive growth during January 2021 are other cereals, Oil meals, and cereal preparations and miscellaneous processed items, and Jute manufacturing. He added that this shows that the agri and processed food industry are the engine of this demand driven growth and I am hopeful that this momentum is going to continue.
According to provisional data of the commerce ministry, the country's exports grew 5.37 per cent year-on-year to $27.24 billion in January 2021, mainly driven by healthy growth in pharmaceuticals and engineering sectors. Imports during the month rose 2 percent to $42 billion, leaving a trade deficit of $14.75 billion.
