Value of India’s engineering goods exports, including aluminium, declines. Are US tariff exemptions a last resort to mend it?
India's engineering goods exports experienced a decline in value during February 2025, marking the first monthly fall since April 2024, affected by slower exports of aluminium, steel, copper, and iron. According to the Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC), India's export value stood at $9.4 billion in the specific month, compared to $9.08 billion a year ago. That reflected an 8.62 per cent decline, bringing the past nine-month growth streak to an end.
However, despite the monthly fall in February, cumulative export value for the past ten months continued to show growth, with a moderate year-on-year increase of 7.98 per cent. Interestingly, the export value for the period from April to February FY2025 reached an all-time high, amounting to $105.85 billion versus $98.03 billion during the corresponding period of the previous year.
