Economy Business
India’s exports to the United States rose sharply by 19.94% to reach USD 8.01 billion in July 2025, while imports climbed 13.78% to USD 4.55 billion. This surge helped elevate India–US bilateral trade to new heights amidst shifting tariff dynamics.
- According to data from India’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry, July 2025 witnessed remarkable growth in bilateral trade, with exports to the US reaching USD 8.01 billion, an increase of 19.94% year-on-year, while imports from the US grew by 13.78% to USD 4.55 billion.
- For the period April–July 2025, exports to the US totalled USD 33.53 billion, marking a 21.64% rise over the previous year, while imports stood at USD 17.41 billion, up 12.33%, confirming the US as India’s top trade partner in this interval.
Main Point :- (i) The export surge is driven by strengthened demand in sectors such as electronics, jewelry, and engineering goods. Several exporters fast-tracked shipments ahead of looming US tariff hikes—a move that significantly accelerated trade volumes during the period.
(ii) While July marked a trade upswing, India’s overall merchandise trade deficit widened to USD 27.35 billion, reflecting higher imports. Amid uncertainties surrounding US tariff policy, India continues trade talks and aims to further expand its bilateral ties around the ambitious target of doubling trade by 2030.
