About the Seminar:
India is poised to lead the global economy once again, with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projecting it to remain the fastest growing major economy over the next two years. According to the April 2025 edition of the IMF’s World Economic Outlook, India’s economy is expected to grow by 6.2% in 2025 and 6.3% in 2026, maintaining a solid lead over global and regional peers. This milestone comes after a decade of significant growth, with India's GDP doubling from US$ 2.1 trillion in 2015.
In fact, international trade has been one of the cornerstones of Indian economy, playing a crucial role in its growth and development, while improving production efficiency, and fostering technological advancement. India today is steadily exhibiting a strong presence in the global exports market, despite persistent global challenges. To get a thorough picture of our trade pattern, it is important however to examine data over an extended period rather than focusing on a single year’s figures. India’s overall exports during FY 2024-25 are estimated to grow by 5.5% at USD 820.93 billion as compared to USD 778.13 billion in FY 2023-24. This marks a 57% increase from USD 466.22 billion in FY 2014. Backed by steady economic growth, reformatory initiatives and enhanced international ties, this reflects a strong performance against global headwinds and India’s successful navigation in beating the odds.
