An Overview on Indian Export

• Indian trade has always been devoid of manufactured or industrial goods as it relies heavily on agriculture.

• After India's liberalization, imports dominated Indian trade in the form of heavy machinery and information technology products and, thus, created an imbalance of trade.

• Indian trade was impacted by the global recession between 2007 and 2009.

• Indian exports fell from $187.9 billion in 2008 to $155 billion in 2010.
