India's nonpetroleum exports just saw a big boost, up 18.01% to $259.22 billion between April and October 2026, compared to last year.
This jump shows India is moving beyond just oil, making its trade stronger and less tied to global energy prices.

The surge comes from higher demand for Indian goods like medicines, textiles, and engineering products, plus more production at home.
Government support has helped too.
Experts think this upward trend will stick around as the world recovers from the pandemic and more countries look to buy Indian-made products.
