New Delhi: India's engineering goods exports climbed 21 percent year-on-year to USD 11.48 billion in June, supported by robust demand from major markets including China, the United States, Germany, and Oman, according to the Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC) India.
China posted the strongest growth among India's key export destinations, with engineering shipments soaring 74 percent to USD 361.47 million in June. The increase follows a broader rise in India's exports to China, which grew nearly 37 percent to about USD 20 billion during the financial year ended March.
The engineering sector continued to underpin India's merchandise exports despite rising freight, insurance, and logistics costs caused by disruptions to shipping routes through the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz.
During the April-June quarter of FY2026-27, engineering exports rose 18.09 percent year-on-year to USD 34.14 billion, up from USD 28.91 billion in the same period a year earlier.
Engineering products account for more than one-fourth of India's total merchandise exports, reinforcing the sector's role as a major driver of the country's external trade.
The United States remained India's largest market for engineering goods in June, with exports reaching USD 1.95 billion. Exports to Oman also recorded remarkable growth, rising more than fourfold to nearly USD 259 million, highlighting strengthening trade ties between the two countries.
The latest figures suggest that global demand for Indian engineering products has remained resilient despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and supply chain challenges affecting international trade routes.
