Foreign Trade Performance of India

Indias Exports, Imports and Balance of Trade

The global slowdown had its impact on the economy of almost all the countries, including India.The trade deficit abruptly increased from 356448 crores in 2007-08 to 533681 crores in 2008-09, an

increase by almost 50 %. However, it was less by 2.9 % in 2009-10, to be increased again by 4.3 % in2010-11. As such Indias trade deficit stood at Rs. 518202 crores during 2009-10 with values of exportsand imports at Rs. 845534 crores and Rs. 1363736 crores respectively. However, as may be seen from

Table 3.1 below that the position was different in 2010-11 as the trade deficit had increased to Rs. 540545crores with values of exports and imports as Rs. 1142922 crores and Rs. 1683467 crores respectively.

Indias Export performance

Indias merchandise exports stood at Rs. 1142922 crores in 2010-11 as compared to Rs.845534 crores

during 2009-10, resulting in a growth of 35.17% in 2010-11.The corresponding growth of 0.57% in 2009-10indicating that there was more impact of global recess/slowdown on Indias economy in the initial year.

Major Export Destinations

The most important destination of Indias exports was UAE during the year 2010-11. In fact UAE has

been the topmost export destination for the last three years with more than 13% share in each year. In terms of

value, Indias exports to UAE exceeded one lakh crores during these three years with Rs. 153866 crores in

2010-11. Closely following UAE was USA, for which the exports value stood at Rs. 115212 in 2010-11 with

percentage share more than 10% during last five (5) years. In fact USA was the topmost export destination priorto UAE. The sharesof export values to the total exports for both these countries were more than 23 % in 2010-11 and the next highest share was that of China RP (6.47 %). However, in terms of annual growth rates, the

exports to these top two countries, i.e. UAE and USA are quite significant. The exports to UAE grew by 35.75

% in 2010-11 as compared to insignificant growth (2.83 %) in 2009-10. This was because, in 2008-09, the

growth was substantial (75.20%). The growth of exports to USA was 25.93 % in 2010-11 although it was

negative growth (4.19 %) in 2009-10 (Table 3.2A). The percentage shares of exports in the total exports to these

top two countries, i.e., UAE and USA, during the last five years from 2006-07 to 2010-11 are very contrasting.

While the shares of exports to UAE were increasing over the years, those of USA were decreasing during these

years, as may be seen from Table 3.2A. From 2006-07 to 2007-08, USA was the top destination country forexports and UAE was in the second position. But, from 2008-09 to 2010-11, their positions have changed, thus

UAE has replaced USA at the top. However, the third positioned destination country, i.e., China RP was

consistent in terms of shares (between 5 to 7 %) of exports in the total exports during these years. In terms of

shares of exports, the next two top destination countries after UAE, USA, and China RP, are Hong Kong and

Singapore. While the shares of exports to Hong Kong during these years, i.e., from 2006-07 to 2010-11 were

Major Exports

Table 3.3gives the export values of major items during 2006-07 to 2010-11. The most important item

group exported by India in 2010-11 was Engineering goods with value of exports more than 2.27 lakh crores

and accounting for 19.84 % of Indias total exports. The export of engineering goods during this period hasincreased by 46.97 %, as compared to 2009-10 when it was negative growth ( 16.13%) at Rs.154320 crores.

The main markets for these items are developed countries and emerging economies like China. It is heartening

to learn that Indias exports of these sophisticated manufactured items to major economies have gone up

substantially in recent years. This indicates the newly gained maturity of Indias manufacturing base.

An obvious development in the field of exports is the recent surge in exports of petroleum products. The

share of this group in Indias export basket has gone up from 14.78 % in 2006-07 to as much as 17.41% in 2007-

08, making it the second most important export item group. After 2007-08 it showed a decrease in terms of its

share in total exports to 14.68% in 2008-09 but recorded increases in 2009-10 (15.72 %) and 2010-11 (16.52%).In terms of export growth over the previous year, petroleum products recorded maximum growth in 2010-11

(42.05%) and the second most growth in 20007-08 (35.11 %). In between the growths were 8.06 % in 2008-09

and 7.70% in 2009-10. The major export destinations for this commodity include some oil-producing countries

like Iran, UAE and Indonesia. The countries like Singapore, Netherlands, Brazil and Sri Lanka are other

important buyers.

Gems and Jewellery is next important item in Indias export basket. Its share in total exports was

12.64% in 2006-07 but decreased to 12.16 % in 2007-08. However, it has recorded increases in the years 2008-

09 (15.29%) and 2009-10 (16.27%). But it has declined in 2010-11 (16.14%). Gems and jewellery are mainly

exported to rich countries like USA, UK, Japan, Belgium and Switzerland, trading nations like Hong Kong andSingapore, and also newly industrialised countries like Thailand. UAE is also an important market.

Basic chemicals (Drug, Phrmcutes & Fine Chemls and other basic chemicals combined) is an area in

which India is consistently doing well as far as exports are concerned. In the recent years, basic chemicals have

replaced readymade garments from the fourth most important source of foreign exchange earner. In 2007-08,

basic chemicals accounted for around 8.43 % of Indias total value of export. In the next two years it remained

at 8.55% and 8.85% in 2008-09 and 2009-10 respectively and thereafter it showed a marginal decrease in 2010-

11(7.70 %).

Traditionally, India has had a comparative advantage in textiles. But the share of this item in Indiastotal exports is gradually decreasing over the years. The share of this commodity in Indias total volume of

export has come down to 5.95 % in 2007-08 from 7.04 % in 2006-07. It had marginally increased to 5.98 % and

6.01% in 2008-09 and 2009-10 respectively. Thereafter it declined again (4.63%) in 2010-11. However, it still

continues to be the fourth largest foreign exchange earner for the country when considered basic chemicals

separately from other basic chemicals. Indias main markets for this item group are the developed western

countries like USA, UK, Germany, France and Italy and also UAE.

There was a substantial jump in exports share (3.89%) of electronic goods and computer software in

2008-09 which is maintained steadily till 2010-11. In 2010-11, the share of electronic goods is 3.27% which is

seventh in the all commodity groups.Indias iron ore export is another commodity group which had increased by leaps and bounds in the last

few years. Although there was increase in growth during 2007-08 (32.53%), a negative growth was recorded

again in 2008-09 (7.16 %). However, there was again positive growth by 30.57% in 2009-10, and negative

growth (24.50%) in 2010-11. The reason for these ups and down situation in exports of iron ore is assumed to

be largely on the slowdown in the demand from China. Indias main markets for iron ores are USA, China,

Share of Export of leather and leather manufactures has been gradually and continuously declining from

2.32 % in 200607 to 1.52 % in 2010-11. The share of Tea and coffee exports showed stagnation over the last

five years (between 0.3 to 0.4 %).

Exports through major Ports

Among Indian ports, Nhava Sheva Sea handles the largest value of cargo export (15.62% in 2010-11).

With Mumbai Air, this port handles more than one-fourth share of Indias merchandise exports value. Although

its share is declining, Nhava Sheva has contributed substantially to Indias export during the last five years.

Close behind Nhava Sheva Sea is Mumbai Air, with a share of 9.84 % during 2010-11 and registering

an increase of growth of export value by around 18.75 % as compared to the previous year. In fact, Nhava ShevaSea and Mumbai Air are the two most important ports of the country that handled more than 30 % of the total

exports for four years from 2006-07 to 2009-10 and in 2010-11, their combined share was 25.46%.

The next major port was Chennai Sea. It consistently handled 6 7 % of the total exports during the last

five years from 2006-07 to 2010-11. Other major ports handling Indias exports are Mundra, Delhi Air, Sikka,

Vishakhapatnam Sea, Mumbai Sea, Tuticorin Sea, Kolkata Sea, Kandla Sea, etc.

Import performance

Major Import Sources

Indias imports from top twenty countries, based on 2010-11 figures and covering more than 75% value

share of imports, during last five years (from 2006-07 to 2010-11) are presented in Table 3.4A. The table also

indicates the percentage share of these countries. It can be seen from the table that for the last five years, Indias

imports from the Peoples Republic of China remained consistently on top with the percentage shares of imports is

about 12% in 2010-11. The percentage share of import value from China was marginally less than 10 % in the initial

year (9.40 % in 2006-07), but it has consistently increased to more than 10% thereafter for the next three years and in

2010-11, it is 11.77 %. This indicates the importance of Chinese goods in Indian markets as the shares of imports

from the next four major countries during 2010-11 are much less the UAE has a share of 8.86 %, followed by

Switzerland (6.70 %), Saudi Arab (5.52%), and USA (5.43%). The UAE is the second major source of imports for

the last two years. China, UAE, Switzerland, Saudi Arab and USA remain at the top five countries for the last two

years with combined import shares of 38.28% and 34.34% respectively in 2010-11 and 2009-10. Switzerland was in

the fifth position in 2009-10, but has occupied the third position pushing Saudi Arab and USA into fourth and fifth

positions respectively. However, it is very significant and important that during the last two years, i.e. in 2009-10 and

2010-11, the composition of the top twenty countries remain the same although their relative positions may not be

the same during these two years. Another significant happening among these top twenty countries is that Hong Kong

which was in 19thposition last year (2009-10) has moved to 13thposition in this year.

In absolute terms, imports from China has exceeded one lakh crores since 2007-08 and it is nearing two lakhs

crores now (Rs. 198079 crores in 2010-11) with 35.63 % growth over 2009-10 (Table 3.4B).

Although there was negative growth in total imports of India by 0.78 % during 2009-10 in comparison to theprevious two years (the annual growths were 20.44 % and 35.77 % respectively in 2007-08 and 2008-09), it has

again increased by 23.45 % during 2010-11 (Table 3.4B). Whereas the negative growth of import for 2009-10 was

reflected in the imports from almost all major countries except Qatar (38.47 %), Indonesia (33.36 %), Switzerland

(31.36 %), Australia (16.17 %), Belgium (9.24 %) and South Africa (8.11 %) where there were positive growths over

the previous year, the situations are quite different in 2010-11. Significantly, Hong Kong has performed highest

annual growth of import to India during 2010-11 and this has put Hong Kong to the 13thposition against 19thpositionin 2009-10 among the top 20 major import sources. In the same way, Switzerlands growth was very significant

(62.84 %) in 2010-11, which has put it in 3rdposition replacing Saudi Arab which is now in 4thposition.

2010-11 (Table 3.5B). Another custom station which has significantly improved through its gems and jewllery

import is ICD/CFS Surat Hira. In 2009-10, it had an import value of Rs. 23690 crores with a share of 1.74 %,

whereas in 2010-11, it has Rs 46698 crores of imports with a share of 2.77 % and an annual growth of 97.12 %. The

percentage shares of a few ports, namely, Mumbai Air, Sikka and Kolkata Sea are consistently declining thus

indicating that other ports are coming very fast in comparison to these ports. Still the values of imports through these

ports are quite significant. In fact the value of import through Mumbai Air customs is more than one lakh crores (Rs.

107641 crores) which is very significant. The import values and their shares through ports such as Vadinar, Sikka,

etc. have increased over the period from 2006-07 to 2010-11. The value shares of imports are consistent at 5 to 8 %

over the past five years for these ports. After the inclusion of SEZs and similar custom stations, the imports throughthese types of ports are also increasing. The most significant custom zone in this regard is SEZ Jamnagar as this port

has emerged as the major port in the recent past. It has improved its position to 6 thwith nearly one lakh crores of

petroleum imports (Rs. 97608 crores) and 5.75 % share this year as against 7thposition (4.65 %) in 2009-10 with Rs.63466 crores worth of petroleum import. It is expected that in the coming years, more and more SEZs will

positioned themselves in the major port list.

111479 crores. Delhi Air was followed by ICD/CFS Surat Hira in terms of annual growth (97.12 %). It was mainly

Gold, Diamond and precious materials which were handled by this port. The increase in prices of these items

globally has contributed an increase of import value through this port. The annual growth for top five ports is quite

consistent.

Major Import

Table 3.6A and Table 3.6B present Indias import by principal commodity groups with their shares andannual growths respectively during 2004-05 to 2010-11. From Table 3.6A, it is seen that the most important item

group imported by India is Petroleum, Crude & Products (28.65%), followed by Gold and silver (11.50 %),

Pearls, precious and semi-precious stones (9.36 %), Machinery, electrical & non-electrical (7.49 %), electronic

goods (7.19 %), etc. It is the imports of Petroleum, Crude & Products and the increasing price of petroleum

products globally that has changed the scenario of the imports and has put countries such as UAE, Saudi Arabia, etc.

Gold & Silver, the second most important item group after Petroleum, Crude & Products. It has a share of

11.50 % to the total imports in 2010-11 whereas it was 10.30 % to the total imports in 2009-10 (Table 3.6A). After

2003-04, when the total value of Gold & Silver import was Rs. 31506 crores, it increased substantially to Rs. 50098

crores in 2004-05, a growth of 59.01 %. However, after 2004-05, this item group had a steady percentage shares of

about 7 8% for next three years, i.e., for 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08. In 2008-09, the Gold & Silver import

shoot up to Rs. 100467 crores value of import with an annual growth of 39.67 % (Table 3.6B). The trend continued

in 2009-10 also, but in 2010-11, the growth of Gold & Silver import was slightly less (37.83 %) although it was Rs.

193562 crores in absolute value, thus indicating that this commodity group is likely cross the 2 lakhs crores of importvalue next year.

The item group Pearls, precious & semi-precious stones, which was sharing 5.62 % of the total imports in

2009-10 and was the fifth in the commodity group, has made significant progress in import values at Rs. 157596

crores with a share of 9.36 % and with an annual growth of 105.53 % in 2010-11, thus recording the second highest

growth after Textile Yarn Fabric, etc. (Table 3.6B). Such growth was noticed in 2008-09 when the annual growth

was recorded as 137.06 %. There was a steady decline of percentage shares of this item group from 8.45 % in 2004-

05, 6.12 % in 2005-06, 4.03 % in 2006-07 to 3.17 % in 2007-08, but it again increased to 5.54 % in 2008-09 and 5.62

% in 2009-10. However, the growth was only 0.72 % in 2009-10.Machinery, electrical and non-electrical machinery comes fourth in terms of share and values of imports

are concerned. It contributes 7.49 % in the total merchandise imports with a value of Rs. 126162 crores during 2010-

11, a slight decrease in share compare to 2009-10 when its share was 7.93 % in the total merchandise imports with a

value of Rs. 108154 crores. Although the annual growth is recorded as 16.65 % in 2010-11, there was a negative

growth (6.58 %) of import of this commodity group in 2009-10. It can also be seen that there is a steady decrease of

groups which recorded significant positive growths in 2010-11 against negative growths in 2009-10 are Newsprint

(66.64 % in 2010-11 and 39.67 % in 2009-10), Sulphur & Unroasted Iron Pyrts (61.14 % in 2010-11 and 76.28 %

in 2009-10), Machine tools (30.82 % in 2010-11 and 24.24 % in 2009-10), Non-ferrous metals (30.33 % in 2010-

11 and 46.56% in 2009-10), etc. The commodity groups like Artificial resins, plastic material etc. (32.22 % in

2010-11 and 30.74 % in 2009-10), and Project goods (26.01 % in 2010-11 and 51.46 % in 2009-10) have recorded

high positive growths in both the years 2009-10 and 2010-11.

Import of Petroleum Products

Due to increase of petroleum prices globally, the value of import of petroleum products has increased. As a

result, the import scenario in terms of percentage shares of item groups, sources countries, major port formation, etc.

has changed. Table 3.8A shows the value and percentage shares of top 10 major countries from where petroleumproducts have been imported during last three years. Table3.8B shows the value and growth of import of petroleum

products over previous year for these countries. It may be seen from the Table 3.8A that the top 10 countries from

where petroleum products have been imported, have shares of about 80 %, 78 %, and 81 % of the total petroleum

products imported to India during 2008-09, 2009-10,and 2010-11 respectively. Of these 10 countries, the top 6
