Exports from India have increased last year. Despite global crises, exports of goods and services are expected to increase by 0.4 percent to $765.6 billion in the year 2023. If seen on the basis of data, the highest exports were of electronics, pharma, cotton, fabrics, ceramic, meat, dairy, poultry, fruits, vegetables and IT services.
 
Decrease in goods export

However, services exports increased by 7.88 percent to $333.8 billion. Apart from this, merchandise import declined by 7 percent to $667.73 billion. Maximum exports from India were made to America, UAE, Netherlands, Bangladesh, Britain and Germany. Exports have been adversely affected due to the Russia-Ukraine war and the ongoing crisis in the Red Sea near Yemen. 
 
Increase in services exports
According to the Commerce Ministry, goods exports have decreased last year. But, due to increase in services exports, total exports have increased. According to the report of Economic Times, the Reserve Bank had released data for the services sector in November, 2023. The Commerce Ministry has made estimates for the data of December 2023. Goods shipment has been adversely affected due to the wars raging across the world. Israel and Hamas have been at war for months. Also, Houthi rebels in Yemen are continuously targeting cargo ships. Due to this, cargo ships have to take a longer route and pass through South Africa. 
 
War will have a negative impact on global trade

This figure was 1651.9 billion dollars in 2022. The negative trade balance between exports and imports also reduced to $75.2 billion in 2023. This figure was 141.3 billion dollars in 2022.
