India’s imports increased at a faster pace than exports. Total imports rose 31% to $70.84 billion in June 2026, compared with $54.08 billion a year earlier.

The sharp rise in imports widened the gap between India’s exports and imports. However, strong growth in engineering, electronics, food products and exports to Asian markets indicates improving demand for Indian goods in several overseas markets.
