India Exports Growth December: Commerce Secretary Rajesh Aggarwal said on Thursday that the country’s merchandise exports increased by 1.87 percent to $38.5 billion in December last month. Imports increased to $63.55 billion in December 2025, which was $58.43 billion in December 2024. The trade deficit in the assessment month stood at US$25 billion.

India’s exports are growing at a positive pace

Aggarwal said that despite global uncertainties, India’s exports are registering positive growth. He also said that in the current financial year 2025-26, the export of goods and services is estimated to be more than 850 billion dollars. Exports increased by 2.44 percent to US $ 330.29 billion during April-December in the current financial year 2025-26.

Trade talks continue with America

Rajesh Aggarwal said that talks are going on between India and America regarding trade agreement. Aggarwal said that despite high duty, India’s exports to America are registering positive growth. Agarwal told reporters, both sides are in talks (on a trade deal) and both sides feel that a trade deal can be done.

He told that in December last year, there was a digital meeting between Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal and US Trade Representative Jameson Greer. Many levels of talks have taken place between the representatives of India and America. However, no positive results have emerged from these talks so far.

Amidst the ongoing dispute between America and Iran, this news can be a relief for India. The sword of 25 percent additional tariff is hanging on other countries including India doing business with Iran. The positive outcome of the ongoing trade talks between India and America has been awaited for a long time.
