India’s Export Composition in Three Simple Charts
India’s Export Composition in Three Simple Charts
Posted: 20 Dec 2011 01:29 PM PST
As far as I know – India has never had a trade surplus, which means that it has never exported more
than it has imported, and I got curious to see what comprises of the exports of the many East Asian
countries that have consistently run trade surpluses for y ears.
But in order to make any comparison, y ou need to know what India’s exports constitute of first, and I
wasn’t sure of what the numbers looked like, so I went to the RBI website to look at some data.
RBI has the latest prov isional foreign trade data for the 2011 April – September six month period,
which shows that India’s exports were $160 billion in that time period. It is important to note that
this includes only merchandise exports, and doesn’t include Serv ices exports which are also a big
foreign exchange earner for India.
I couldn’t locate the six month number that included Serv ices, and had to fall back upon the first
quarter April – June 2011 – 12 Balance of Pay ment data to get the proportion between goods and
serv ices.
This data shows that the goods exported were worth $80.58 billion, and serv ices exported were
worth $30.95 billion.

India Merchandise and Serv ices Exports
Now, that we see what the split between the goods and serv ices look like, let’s take the smaller piece
first, and see what contributes to the Serv ices.

Breakup of Serv ices
As expected, software exports dominate serv ices and a large part of the serv ices exports are what we
commonly refer to as BPO and IT Enabled Serv ices.
Now, let’s take a look at merchandising, which is the bigger chunk of the exports. Here is a chart that
breaks out merchandise.

Breakup of Exports
To make this chart easily readable – I didn’t label some smaller categories – the 4% there is Ores and
Minerals, 2% is Others and 1% is Leather and Manufacturers.
The biggest category of exports is engineering exports which must be the kind of thing that a L&T,
BHEL or Tata Motors exports, and petroleum products is the second largest exports which is what
Reliance Industries exports which also happens to the biggest exporter out of India.
I don’t think I would have been able to guess any of these numbers correctly if I hadn’t looked at the
RBI data first, and I’d like to see data for a full y ear to see whether this quarter represents the whole
y ear well or if any thing here is affected by seasonality of some sort.
However, by and large it looks like for all the attention that serv ices gets – exports of engineering
goods and refined petroleum products may just hold the key to run an export surplus.
