Export-Import Bank of India (India Exim Bank) forecasts India’s total merchandise exports to amount to US$ 116.7 bn, witnessing an y-o-y growth of 12.3%, while non-oil exports are forecast to amount US$ 93.9 bn, witnessing an y-o-y growth of 10.7%, during Q1 (April-June) of FY2025.  These positive growth rates are expected to be witnessed in continuation of the positive growth witnessed during the last two quarters of the previous financial year. Positive growth in India’s exports could be as a result of India’s strong GDP growth fundamentals and outlook, sustained momentum in manufacturing and services sector, backed by expected global easing of monetary tightening spurring global demand, and to some extent due to base effect. The outlook is, however, subject to risks of uncertain prospects for advanced economies, geopolitical shocks, the middle east crisis leading to the intensification of the Red Sea crisis and deepening geoeconomic fragmentation, among other factors.  Growth in exports is expected to continue to witness a positive momentum in the forthcoming quarters.  

Forecast of growth in India’s total merchandise exports and non-oil exports are released by Exim Bank on a quarterly basis, during the first fortnight of the months of May, August, November, and February for the corresponding quarters, based on its Export Leading Index (ELI) model. The next growth forecast for India’s exports for the 2nd quarter of FY 2025 (i.e. July-September 2024) would be released during the first fortnight of August 2024.

The improvisations to the model and the forecast results have been reviewed by a standing technical committee of domain experts comprising Professor Saikat Sinha Roy, Professor & Head,  Department of Economics, Jadavpur University, Kolkata; Professor N. R. Bhanumurthy, Vice Chancellor, BASE University, Bengaluru; Dr. Sarat Dhal, Adviser, Department of Economic and Policy Research, Reserve Bank of India, Mumbai; and Professor C. Veeramani, Director, Centre for Development Studies, Trivandrum.

As part of its continued research initiatives, Exim Bank has developed an in-house model to generate an Export Leading Index (ELI) for India to track and forecast the movement in India’s exports on a quarterly basis. The ELI gauges the outlook for the country’s exports and is essentially developed as a leading indicator to forecast growth in total merchandise and non-oil exports of the country, on a quarterly basis, based on several external and domestic factors that could impact exports of the country.

Export-Import Bank of India (India Exim Bank) forecasts India’s total merchandise exports to amount to US$ 118.2 bn, witnessing an y-o-y growth of 2.96%, while non-oil exports are forecast to amount US$ 95 bn, witnessing an y-o-y growth of 4.55%, during Q4 (January-March) of FY2024.  These positive growth rates are expected to be witnessed against the backdrop of negative growth seen during the first two quarters of the year. Positive growth in India’s exports could be as a result of India’s strong GDP growth fundamentals and outlook and expected global easing of monetary tightening spurring global demand. The outlook is, however, subject to risks of uncertain prospects for advanced economies, geopolitical shocks, the middle east crisis leading to the intensification of the Red Sea crisis and deepening geoeconomic fragmentation, among other factors.

With these forecasts, India’s total merchandise exports for the full year for FY2024 are expected to be at US$ 435.3 billion, while non-oil exports figures are likely to be maintained at the previous year’s level.  However, oil exports are expected to remain subdued during the year, contracting by US$ 12.5 billion, compared to the FY2023.

Forecast of growth in India’s total merchandise exports and non-oil exports are released by Exim Bank on a quarterly basis, during the first fortnight of the months of May, August, November, and February for the corresponding quarters, based on its Export Leding Index (ELI) model. The next growth forecast for India’s exports for the 1st quarter of FY 2025 (i.e. April-June 2024) would be released during the first fortnight of May 2024.

Export-Import Bank of India (Exim Bank) forecasts India’s total merchandise exports to remain above US$ 100 bn (US$ 100.5 bn) during the third quarter (October-December) of FY2023, notwithstanding some y-o-y contraction (5.9% over the corresponding quarter of the previous year). Non-oil exports are forecast to amount to US$ 80.5 bn during the said period, (contracting by 9.7% over the previous year). India’s exports could be shadowed by deepening global energy crisis, tighter global monetary and financial conditions, continued slowdown in select major trade partners and continued uncertainty around the Russia Ukraine conflict.  While a negative growth is likely to be witnessed during the first two months of the quarter, however due to recent domestic policy changes and envisaged improvement in the external environment, there could be a recovery in India’s exports in the coming months.

Export-Import Bank of India (India Exim Bank) forecasts India’s total merchandise exports to continue to cross the US$ 100 bn mark, for the fourth consecutive quarter in a row.  The first quarter exports would be close to US$ 120 bn (US$ 117.2 bn) growing at 22.7%.  Non-oil exports continue to witnessa double-digit growth (12.6%) amounting to US$ 93 bn, during the first quarter (April-June) of 2022-23.  This compares to US$ 95.5 bn and US$ 82.6 bn of total exports and non-oil exports, respectively, for the corresponding quarter of the previous year.  The rise in India’s exports could be attributed largely to the continued increase in global commodity prices driven by supply shocks, enhanced price competitiveness owing to exchange rate movements, and benefits from possible trade diversion.  The growth forecast may be subject to commodity price volatility, and uncertainties in the global economy mainly driven by the current geo-political tension.

The sharp rise in India’s exports could be attributed largely to the low base effect, pick up in global oil prices, and strong growth in advanced economies. While the peak of the second wave of infections of the COVID-19 pandemic witnessed in India during end April-May 2021, could have subdued exports during the quarter to some extent, exports from India have nevertheless been relatively resilient.

Export-Import Bank of India (India Exim Bank) forecasts India’s total merchandise exports to amount to US$ 78.6 bn, growing at 4.9%, and non-oil exports to amount to US$ 73.9 bn, growing at 12%, during the fourth quarter of 2020-21, as compared to US$ 74.9 bn and US$ 65.9 bn, respectively, for the corresponding quarter of the previous year.  Consequently, aggregate exports for 2020-21 are forecast to amount to US$ 279.4 billion, witnessing a contraction of 10.8% over 2019-20. Non-oil exports are forecast to amount to US$ 256.8 billion, witnessing a contraction of 5.6% over 2019-20.The fall in India’s exports of petroleum products could be attributed largely to the global slump in demand and especially in the transportation and logistics sectors. Considering the global contraction in trade due to pandemic, Non-Oil exports from India has been resilient. Despite serious disruptions and logistical constraints exports from India have remained upbeat. 

Forecast of growth in India’s total merchandise exports and non-oil exports are released by India Exim Bank on a quarterly basis, during the first week of the months of June, September, December, and March for the corresponding quarters, with continuous improvisation to the model. The forecasts are based on India Exim Bank’s Export Leading Index (ELI) Model, which has shown an upward movement during the same quarter. The next growth forecast for India’s exports for the quarter April-June 2021 would be released during the first week of June 2021.

The model and the forecast results have been reviewed by a standing technical committee of domain experts comprising Professor Saikat Sinha Roy, Professor & Coordinator, Centre for Advanced Studies, Department of Economics, Jadavpur University, Kolkata; Dr. Sarat Dhal, Director, Department of Economic and Policy Research, Reserve Bank of India, Mumbai; Professor N. R. Bhanumurthy, Vice Chancellor, BASE University, Bengaluru; and Professor C. Veeramani, Professor, Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research (IGIDR), Mumbai.

As part of its continued research initiatives, Exim Bank had developed an in-house model to generate an Export Leading Index (ELI) for India to track and forecast the movement in India’s exports on a quarterly basis.The ELI gauges the outlook for the country’s exports and is essentially developed as a leading indicator to forecast growth in total merchandise and non-oil exports of the country, on a quarterly basis, based on several external and domestic factors that could impact exports of the country.
