As part of its continued research initiatives, Exim Bank tracks and
forecasts the movement in India's merchandise exports on a quarterly basis, based on an in-house
model to generate an Export Leading Index (ELI) for India.
The ELI gauges the outlook for the country's exports and is essentially developed as a
leading indicator to forecast growth in total merchandise and non-oil exports of the country, on
a quarterly basis, based on several external and domestic factors that could impact exports of
the country
The forecast of growth in India's total merchandise exports and non-oil exports is released during the first week of the months of June, September, December, and March for the corresponding quarters
