**Federation of Indian Export Organizations (FIEO)** welcomed the **Economic Survey 2025-26** (presented on January 29, 2026) as a robust blueprint to accelerate export growth, enhance logistics efficiency, reduce input costs, expand market access and deepen India’s integration into global value chains.
FIEO described the survey as a “robust, forward-looking” assessment that underlines the critical role of the external sector in stability, development and global trust amid instability and fragmentation around the world.
Highlights mentioned include India’s record total exports in FY25 at **$825.3 billion** (growth of 6.1% over last year), led by services exports of **$387.6 billion** (growth of 13.6%). Non-petroleum and non-gems exports reached record levels, reflecting successful diversification and vulnerability to commodity price fluctuations.
FIEO President **SC Ralhan** said: “India’s record-breaking exports, strong performance in services, comfortable current account position and strong foreign exchange reserves clearly demonstrate the success of the government’s continuous policy reforms and the growing competitiveness of Indian exporters and service providers.”
The survey confirms India’s emergence as a trusted, strong global trading partner, with its growing share in global merchandise and services exports vindicating the long-term strategic vision. Ralhan said the growing dominance of non-petroleum/non-gems exports indicates deeper manufacturing capabilities, greater value addition and a more sophisticated export basket.
FIEO, in UNCTAD’s analysis, emphasized the context of the survey in which India is ranked among the leading economies in trade partner diversification. A moderate current account deficit (~1.3% of GDP), record remittances of **$135.4 billion**, and forex reserves of over **$700 billion** (providing 11 months of import cover) underline sound external sector management.
FIEO sees the survey as a catalyst for further reforms to sustain export momentum and establish India as an important player in global trade.
