Commerce
Secretary Sunil Barthwal said
that India's Exports are doing be er than other countries both in goods and services.
NEW DELHI: India's trade deficit
n a r r o w e d t o $ 2 1 9 4 b i l l i o n i n
D e c e m b e r a f t e r l a s t m o n t h ' s shocking surge to a lifetime high on the back of miscalculations in gold imports, Government data showed recently.
Exports contracted for the second month in a row by about one per cent year-on-year to $38.01 billion due to global uncertainties, while imports rose by about 5% to $59.95 billion.
Key export sectors, including petroleum, gems and jewellery, and chemicals, have registered negative growth during the month under review
Petroleum product shipments have declined by 28.62% to $4.91 billion last month During the first nine m o n t h s o f t h i s f i s c a l a l s o , these exports contracted by 20.84% year-on-year to $49 billion.
However, textiles, electronics, engineering, rice and marine products recorded healthy growth in December 2024.
Cumulatively, during AprilDecember this fiscal, exports recorded a growth of 1.6% to $321.71 billion and imports by 5.15% to $532.48 billion.
Trade deficit, the difference between imports and exports, during April-December widened to $210.77
billion from $189.74 billion during the same period previous fiscal.
Briefing the media on the latest data, Commerce Secretary Sunil Barthwal said that India's exports are doing better than other countries both in goods and services.
"This shows the resiliency of our exports In all the three quarters of this fiscal also, we have done better. We are doing much better in non-petroleum exports,"hetoldreportershere.
The ministry has recently held a meeting with commercial wings of Indian Missions in 20 countries to deliberate on issues impacting exports and ways to resolve them.
These 20 countries account for about 60% of India's exports.
In December last year, Barthwal said sectors which have registered healthy growth in exports included e l e c t r o n i c s , e n g i
pharmaceuticals.
When asked about the revision of gold and silver import data for November 2024, the secretary said a committee has been set up to create a robust mechanism for publishing consistent data.
The Government revised gold import data for November 2024, bringing down numbers by $5 billion to $9.84 billion.
As per the revised data, exports in
November 2024 were down by 5.06% to $32.03 billion, while imports rose by 16% to $63.86 billion. The trade deficit stood at $31.83 billion.
"The data revision keeps on happening…we are following global practices of data release," Barthwal said.
Gold imports during the month under review rose by 55.4% to $4.7 billion against $3 billion in December 2023. On the other hand, silver imports jumped by 211% to $421.91 million.
Raw cotton raw waste, used in the textiles industry, saw a surge in imports from $29 47 million in December 2023 to $142.89 million last month.
As per estimates, services export in December 2024 increased to $32.66 billion compared to $31.63 billion a year ago.
During April-December 2024-25, the exports rose by 11.61% to $280.94 billion from $251.71 billion in the same period previous fiscal.
In December, India's shipment rose positively to the US, Saudi Arabia, France, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
During the month, the top five i m p o r t s o u r c e s w e r e C h i n a , Switzerland, Thailand, Germany and the US.
Merchandise Exports see marginal dip of 1% in December 2024; FIEO urges supportive Budget for Export Boost
N E W D E L H I : Merchandise exports in December 2024 stood at U S D 3 8 0 1 b i l l i o n , reflecting a slight 1% year-on-year decline FIEO President, Mr Ashwani Kumar, attributed this drop to volatility in commodity and metal prices, along with ongoing international trade d i s r u p t i o n s a n d c u r r e n c y fluctuations. Geopolitical tensions in the Gulf region further exacerbated logistical challenges, affecting export flows to key markets like Europe, Africa, and the CIS.
Mr Kumar emphasized the urgent need for enhanced support in the upcoming Budget, particularly through an expanded PLI Scheme, to boost manufacturing capacity and include labour-intensive sectors. He also highlighted the persistent issue of trade finance, which continues to hinder the global competitiveness of MSMEs.
Imports for December rose by 4.8% to USD 59.95 billion, though they fell from the record-high USD 63.86 billion in November 2024, resulting in a reduced trade deficit of USD 21.94 billion for the month. For the period
April-December 2024, exports increased by 1 6% to USD 321 71 billion, while imports grew by 5.15% to USD 532.48 billion.
L o o k i n g a h e a d , M r Ku m a r stressed the importance of a focused export strategy targeting key markets, particularly the US, as the tariff war presents new opportunities. He also called for the continuation of the Interest Equalisation Scheme, R&D support, the establishment of a globally recognized Indian shipping line, and resolution of GST-related export challenges in the upcoming Budget to ensure sustained growth.
China saw record Annual Exports in 2024
BEIJING: China's exports surged to a record high in 2024, state media reported recently, as the prospect of b i t i n g t a r i f f s i m p o s e d b y U S president-elect Donald Trump looms.
Overseas shipments represented a rare bright spot in China's economy last year as sluggish domestic consumption and a prolonged crisis in
the property sector dragged on growth.
Total exports last year "exceeded 25 trillion yuan for the first time, reaching 25 45 trillion yuan ($3 47 trillion), a year-on-year increase of 7.1 percent", state broadcaster CCTV said.
Imports totalled 18.39 trillion yuan,
a rise of 2.3 percent on-year, CCTV said, adding that combined trade swelled five percent to reach a record 43.85 trillion yuan.
Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on China during his first term in office and has threatened even heftier levies when he returns to the White House next week.

Deep Kapuria, trade expert and Chairman of Hi-Tech Gears said, “AI is fast emerging as an important vehicle for future trade’s journey ”
He added that digital transformation driven by artificial intelligence is set to boost not only services trade, “it may also create whole new categories of tradable AI-powered goods — from autonomous vehicles to robotics and beyond.”
While geopolitical tensions remain outside the private sector’s control, Kapuria stressed the importance of businesses, particularly in developing countries, meeting environmental and social sustainability standards.
“Complying with sustainability indicators is also important for companies to get integrated into GVCs (global value chains) as new laws such as EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive make it legally mandatory to ensure supply chain becomes sustainable,” Kapuria said.
SK Saraf, founder chairman of Technocraft Industries, urged Indian industries to invest in new age technologies to enhance competitiveness. He highlighted the opportunities for Indian exporters in the US market, particularly if the country imposes higher tariffs on Chinese goods under Trump’s administration.
“The exporters will have to look for ways to increase exports to the US as imposition of high tariffs on Chinese goods by America would open up huge potential for them,” Saraf said.
Kapuria cautioned that retaliatory measures from Washington could disrupt global supply chains, trade, and foreign direct investment (FDI). He also pointed to the recent series of global shocks including the Covid-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war, and tensions in the Middle East which have prompted nations to re explore their trade relationships and seek partnerships aligned with their economic and security priorities
India Budget: GTRI calls for simplied customs duty structure in Union Budget 2025
NEW DELHI: Union Budget: The Indian Government should simplify the customs duty structure by reducing the number of slabs from over 40 to 5 in the upcoming Budget for the next fiscal year, GTRI said It should also ensure that raw materialsaretaxedlowerthanfinishedgoodsintheupcoming Budget to reduce import costs, boost manufacturing, and increaseexports,thethinktankGTRIsaid.
GTRI called for an inter-ministerial review of tariff policies to refine India's framework, avoid international scrutiny, and align tariffs with national goals GTRI suggested lowering India's average tariff to about 10%, saying this could be done without a significant revenue loss.
Currently, 85% of tariff revenue comes from just 10% of product categories, while 60% of product categories contribute less than 3% of the revenue.
The report noted that customs duties, once a major revenue source for the government, now account for only 6 4% of gross tax revenue, compared to corporate tax (26.8%), income tax (29.7%), and GST (27.8%).
Given this decline, GTRI suggested that customs duties are no longer a key revenue source and should instead be used strategically to support domestic manufacturing and global trade.
"Simplifying the tariff structure by reducing slabs from over 40 to 5, capping maximum tariffs at 50%, and ensuring raw materials are taxed lower than finished goods would foster economic growth, reduce import reliance, and promote exports," said the report, prepared by GTRI Founder Ajay Srivastava and Trade Expert Satish Reddy.
The report also recommended ending IGST, cess, and Basic Customs duty exemptions under the MOOWR (Manufacture and Other Operations in Warehouse) scheme. This would support local capital goods manufacturers and align with the Make in India initiative.
Currently, the scheme allows duty-free import of machinery, even if the goods produced using that machinery are sold domestically.
"This creates an unfair disadvantage for local capital goods manufacturers, who must pay GST on machinery sold in India. Additionally, firms outside the MOOWR scheme pay full import duties and IGST when importing machinery for domestic sales," the report said.
It further suggested reforms to the regulatory framework of Customs Cargo Service Providers (CCSPs) to reduce operational costs and improve trade logistics.

India’s first E-Commerce Export Hub to launch by March : DGFT
N
E W D E L H I : I n d i a ’ s f i r s t
E-Commerce Export Hub is set to start operations by March 2025, revealed Santosh Kumar Sarangi, Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). The pilot launch for these hubs has been approved for five companies: logistics aggregator Shiprocket and air cargo handling firm Cargo Service Centre in Delhi; DHL and Lexship in Bengaluru; and goGlocal in Mumbai, said Sarangi.
Sarangi mentioned that the commerce and revenue departments, along with the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), are collaborating to finalise the standard operating procedures (SOP) for launching the h u b s . “ We e x p e c t t h e f i r s t e-commerce hub operational by March of this year,” he noted.
The key features of the hubs will include self-sealing procedures
without customs or BCAS checks at gateway ports, a simplified reimport policy for returns, and on-site outposts for quality and certification agencies.
This initiative is part of India’s effort to capitalise on the growing opportunities in e-commerce exports, a sector expected to reach over $100 billion by 2030, with the potential to grow further to $200-250 billion in the years ahead. Currently, India’s e-
approximately $5 billion, a stark contrast to China’s $250 billion annually
Sarangi also announced that the Directorate General of Foreign Trade is working on the launch of the second p
c t ePlatform. Phase one, launched in September last year, provided essential information on exports and
imports Phase two will introduce added services such as support for trade disputes, trade analytics, intelligence reports from overseas missions, and trade finance and insurance options.
Additionally, the DGFT revealed plans for the launch of the Diamond I m p r e s t Au t h o r i s a t i o n ( D I A ) scheme, set to take effect on April 1. This scheme will allow for the dutyfree import of cut and polished diamonds up to a specified limit, with a requirement for 10 per cent value addition The aim is to position India as a hub for diamond processing and value addition The Diamond Imprest Licence permits e l i g i b
diamonds up to 5 per cent of their average turnover from the past three years, with a 10 per cent value addition requirement.
India may tweak Customs Duties, Regulations in Budget to back local Component Manufacturing & EoDB
MUMBAI: The Government may rework and simplify customs duties and procedures in select sectors in the Union budget for FY26 to make it attractive for manufacturers of finished goods to also produce components or semi-finished goods, according to two people familiar with the matter The proposed measures are also expected to ease trade and make exports competitive.
Calibrating customs tariffs to improve the viability of investments in finished products and the intermediate stages of production will encourage backward integration of facilities, one person said.
The duty revisions could be made in the electronics and consumer goods segments, the person said on condition of not being identified. Air-conditioners and washing machines are two sectors w h e r e d o m e s t i c p r o d u c t i o n o f components and semi-finished goods are likely to get tariff protection.
The move springs from the success in the mobile phone segment, where higher customs duty on finished products helped to attract investments. The Government is implementing a phased increase in customs duty on components of smartwatches and mobile phones to encourage producers to make these parts locally.
The basic customs duty on batteries and other parts of smartwatches will go up to 15% from 10% from 1 March 2025 In the case of mobile phones, the basic customs duty on speaker assemblies, printed circuit boards and batteries will goupto15%from1Marchfrom10%now Typically, value addition in the intermediate stage exceeds that in the final assembly and carefully executed tariff protection, especially in areas where high-end technology is not
manufacturing of semi-finished goods, the first person said.
“Customs tariffs have proven to be an effective tool in fostering domestic manufacturing when implemented strategically,” said Sanjay A Chhabria, indirect tax lead at Nexdigm, a business and professional services company “The Government in this budget must focus on a nuanced approach protecting domestic industries, encouraging backward integration and ensuring global competitiveness, keeping in mind the long-term growth and export potential.”
“The Government is reviewing the customs duty rate structure to make it simpler and fairer. This will help ease trade, reduce disputes and support manufacturing and exports. Revision in customs duties is aimed at promoting the development of critical industries as it encourages businesses to innovate and improve their products. This helps i n j o b c r e a t i o n , f o s t e r s s k i l l development and strengthens the overall economy,” the second person said.
Trade regulations
The Government is also working on simplifying regulations impacting trade, including those of the Reserve Bank of India, the customs authorities, the goods and services tax authorities and the Directorate General of Foreign Trade to ease exports, especially of handicrafts, jewellery, electronic items, and ayurvedic products, the second person said on condition of anonymity
Experts said the FY26 budget may adopt a balanced approach to customs duty revision to foster both domestic production and export competitiveness. The government’s strategy of using customs tariffs to boost domestic
production has shown tangible results, said Chhabria.
India has emerged as a global manufacturing hub for mobile phones with global companies setting up facilities, thanks to incentives linked to production and other sops, he said. Also, local production of toys has surged as higher duties, complemented by quality standards enforcement, discouraged imports, he said.
In the case of electronic appliances, local assembly and production have increased due to targeted import duty increases on finished products, Chhabria said, adding that this can be replicated in sectors such as medical devices, capital goods, wind turbines a n d e l e c t
A combination of duty adjustments, production-linked incentives and infrastructure support can be thought of and will be critical to achieving these goals, he said.
Expectations are high for a comprehensive review of India’s customs duty structure, according to Sandeep Sehgal, partner-tax at AKM Global, a tax and consulting firm.
“Simplifying the current system is critical as the multiplicity of rates has created unnecessary complexity and frequent disputes,” said Sehgal, adding that the anomaly of raw materials attracting higher taxes than finished products in certain industries needs to be addressed.
Experts also said imposing higher import duties on intermediate products could encourage backward integration, but it must be approached cautiously Higher duties should be imposed only when there is a clear pathway for domestic production of intermediate goods, supported by sufficient capacity and skill development, they said.
