India’s exports climbed 4.6% to an all-time high of $863.11 billion in FY26, even as global conditions stayed tough. Merchandise exports rose slightly, but the real momentum came from services, which hit a standout peak. The result points to a shift in export strength as service-led demand offsets slower global trade.
