Trump defies tariffs! 10 year record broken, India sold goods heavily in November

New Delhi. Leaving behind the sluggishness of October, India’s exports have made such a tremendous comeback in November 2025 that the record of the last decade was destroyed. The figures released by the Commerce Ministry on Monday are testifying that even amidst Trump tariffs and global challenges, the demand for ‘Made in India’ products is increasing rapidly across the world. Commerce Secretary Rajesh Aggarwal said that in November, India’s merchandise exports took a spectacular jump of 19.37% to reach $38.13 billion. This figure is historical because in the last 10 years there had never been so much export in the month of November. On the other hand, the country has also got relief on the import front. A decline of 1.88% was recorded in imports and it came down to $62.66 billion.

The trade deficit, which was at an intimidating level of $41.68 billion in October, came down to $24.53 billion in November. This decline is a big relief for the government and the RBI, as the low trade deficit directly helps in the strengthening of the rupee. There has been a huge decline of about 60% in gold imports in November. Along with this, a decrease was also seen in the import of crude oil and coal. This had a direct impact on the country’s trade deficit, which is a matter of concern for any economy.

Enthusiasm seen in service sector

Not only goods, but the magic of India’s services is also making the world famous. Exports of services increased to $35.86 billion in November 2025, which was $32.11 billion last year. If we look from a broader perspective, the country’s total exports have increased by 2.62% in the current financial year (April-November 2025) and have crossed $292.07 billion. However, during the same period, total imports have also increased by 5.59% to 515.21 billion dollars, but the November figures have raised new hopes in the market.
