New Delhi, Oct 15
The sustained growth in India’s merchandise and overall exports for September 2025 and H1 FY26 shows the resilience, adaptability, and competitiveness of Indian exporters in navigating a challenging global landscape, the Federation of Indian Export Organisations said on Wednesday.
The increase in imports calls for a renewed focus on building domestic manufacturing capabilities in critical sectors such as electronics, machinery, and intermediate goods, Ralhan said.
The FIEO urged the government to take bold steps toward import substitution by encouraging local production and enhancing global competitiveness through innovation and scale.
He also stressed support for high-value sectors like electronics, green technology, and processed food, which offer immense potential for long-term value creation and job generation
