(April-March)*
This article reviews India’s merchandise trade
performance during 2010-11 (April-March) on the basis
of data released by the Directorate General of
Commercial Intelligence and Statistics (DGCI&S). It also
analyses disaggregated commodity-wise and directionwise
details for the period April-December, 2010-11.
Highlights
-
During 2010-11 exports stood at US$ 245.6 billion
and recorded a growth of 37.8 per cent as against
a decline of 2.5 per cent during 2009-10 reflecting
higher growth in global income and trade as well
as the policy thrust of the Government to promote
exports in terms of diversifying products and
destinations.
-
During 2010-11, imports at US$ 350.5 billion
registered an increase of 21.9 per cent (as against
a decline of 3.8 per cent a year ago).
-
Petroleum, oil and lubricants (POL) imports at
US$ 101.7 billion in 2010-11 showed a growth of
16.7 per cent, as against a decline of 7.0 per cent
a year ago, primarily due to increase in
international crude oil prices. The average price
of Indian basket of crude oil during 2010-11 stood
at US$ 85.2 per barrel (ranged between US$ 74.4–
122.1 per barrel), which was higher by 22.4 per
cent than US$ 69.6 per barrel (ranged between
US$ 50.4–77.4 per barrel) during 2009-10.
-
Non-POL imports during 2010-11 at US$ 248.8
billion recorded a growth of 24.2 per cent as
against a decline of 2.4 per cent in 2009-10.
-
Trade deficit during 2010-11 amounted to
US$ 104.9 billion, which was marginally lower by
US$ 4.3 billion than US$ 109.2 billion during
2009-10.
-
The disaggregated data on commodity-wise
merchandise export reveal that during April- December 2010 engineering goods, oil and gems
and jewellery contributed around 70 per cent of
the overall growth in exports.
-
Destination-wise, there has been diversification
of exports towards developing countries with their
share in total exports increasing to 41.7 per cent
during April-December 2010 from 38.6 per cent a
year ago.
-
Trade deficit on oil account during April-December
stood at US$ 45.1 billion which was higher by
US$ 3.1 billion than US$ 42.0 billion a year ago.
Trade deficit on non-oil account during this period
amounted to US$ 33.5 billion, which was lower
by US$ 4.3 billion than US$ 37.8 billion in April-
December 2009.
India’s Merchandise Trade during April-
March 2010-11
Exports
India’s merchandise exports during the month of
March 2011 at US$ 29.1 billion witnessed a growth of
43.8 per cent as compared with 56.8 per cent registered
in March 2010 (Statement 1). The declining phase of
India’s exports in the aftermath of global financial crisis
ended in September 2009 and the high pace in export
growth continued thereafter (Chart 1).
Exports during 2010-11 stood at US$ 245.6 billion,
registering a robust growth of 37.8 per cent as against
a decline of 2.5 per cent during the corresponding
period of 2009-10 (Table 1 and Statement 2). The robust
performance of the exports during 2010-11 may be
attributed to higher growth in global income and trade
as well as the strategy of the Government to promote
exports by diversifying products and destinations.

The latest commodity-wise exports data released
by DGCI&S for April-December 2010 revealed that
manufactured goods continued to maintain the largest
share with 65.4 per cent, followed by petroleum products (16.6 per cent) and primary products (14.1
per cent). The shares of manufactured goods and
primary products remained stable while share of
petroleum products increased reflecting higher
quantity of exports coupled with higher international
oil prices. Within manufactured goods, the share of
engineering goods improved and accounted for the
highest share while the shares of others declined
(Table 2).

During April-December 2010-11, exports of all
major commodity groups registered a robust growth
with engineering goods and petroleum products
recording sharp growth rates of 59.8 per cent and 45.4
per cent, respectively, partly reflecting the base effect.
These were followed by agricultural and allied products
(35.6 per cent), ores and minerals (27.1per cent),
chemicals and related products (24.5 per cent) and gems
and jewellery (18.5 per cent). At further disaggregated
level, the overall growth of 31.9 per cent in non-oil
exports was brought about mainly by items such as
processed minerals, transport equipments,
manufacture of metals, residual chemicals and allied
products and cotton yarn fabrics & made-ups
(Statement 3). The growth in oil exports was on account
of rise in world oil prices as well as rise in quantity of
oil exported. During the period the volume of oil
exports recorded a growth of 25.0 per cent as compared
with 21.0 per cent in the corresponding period of the
preceding year.
Destination-wise, during April-December 2010-11,
developing countries and OECD countries accounted
for 41.7 per cent and 34.0 per cent of India’s total
exports, respectively, followed by OPEC with a share
of 21.3 per cent (Table 3).

During the period, the share of developing
countries increased, OPEC remained stable while the
OECD share declined as compared with corresponding period of previous year. Within developing countries,
the share of Latin American countries and China
improved during April-December 2010. The policy
initiatives undertaken by the Government of India to
promote diversification of products as well as markets
under various schemes such as encouragement of Free
Trade Zones, export promotion of capital goods, Market
Linked Focus Product Scheme with a focus on markets
of Latin America and Africa and some of CIS countries for exports of specific products have also helped in
diversifying India’s exports.
Country-wise, during April-December 2010-11, the
UAE continued to remain the largest importer of Indian
goods with a share of 12.6 per cent, followed by the US
(10.4 per cent), China (7.8 per cent), Singapore (4.1 per
cent) and Hong Kong (4.0 per cent). These five countries
together accounted for 38.9 per cent of India’s total
exports. India’s exports to all major destinations such as the developing countries, Africa, North America, EU
and OPEC registered a growth during April-December
2010-11(Statement 4).
Imports
India’s merchandise imports during the month
of March 2011 at US$ 34.7 billion witnessed an increase
of 17.3 per cent as against a growth of 78.5 per cent
recorded in March 2010. During 2010-11, imports at
US$ 350.7 billion registered a growth of 21.9 per cent
(3.8 per cent decline a year ago) [Statement 1 and
Statement 2].
During March 2011, petroleum, oil and lubricants
(POL) imports at US$ 9.4 billion registered an increase
of 8.2 per cent. The POL imports at US$ 101.7 billion
showed a growth of 16.7 per cent during 2010-11, as
against a decline of 7.0 per cent a year ago, primarily
due to increase in international crude oil prices. The
average price of Indian basket of crude oil during 2010-
11 stood at US$ 85.2 per barrel (ranged between
US$ 74.4-122.1 per barrel), which was higher by 22.4
per cent than US$ 69.6 per barrel (ranged between US$
50.4–77.4 per barrel) during 2009-10 (Table 4). Non-POL
imports during 2010-11 at US$ 249.1 billion recorded a
growth of 24.2 per cent as against a decline of 2.4 per
cent in 2009-10.

The commodity-wise imports data for April-
December 2010-11, latest available, indicate that POL imports at US$ 73.3 billion showed a growth
of 19.3 per cent as against a decline of 24.2 per cent
a year ago, mainly due to rise in international crude
oil prices (Statement 5). The volume of POL imports
recorded a moderate decline of 1.9 per cent as
against an increase of 14.6 per cent during April-
December 2009.
Non-POL imports during April-December 2010-11
at US$ 174.9 billion witnessed a growth of 20.3 per
cent as against a decline of 15.8 per cent during the
corresponding period of 2009-10.
The overall growth in non-POL imports during
April-December 2010-11 was mainly due to growth
in imports of export-related items such as pearls,
precious and semi-precious stones (whose share in
total imports almost doubled) and organic and
inorganic chemicals, iron and steel and
metalliferrous ores & metal scrap, non-ferrous metals
and project goods. In contrast, imports of capital
goods witnessed a marginal increase during the
period (Statement 5). During April-December 2010-
11, the shares of metalliferrous ores & metal scrap,
iron and steel and pearls, precious and semi-precious
stones in total imports improved, while those of
capital goods, ‘petroleum, crude and products’, coal,
coke and briquettes and fertilisers declined
marginally (Table 5).
Source-wise, during April-December 2010,
developing countries had a share of 33.7 per cent in
India’s total imports, followed by OPEC and OECD
regions (Table 6). The shares of developing countries
and OPEC countries improved, while that of OECD
declined during the period. Country-wise, China
continued to be the largest source of imports with a
share of 12.1 per cent in total imports, followed by the
UAE, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland and US. These five
countries together constituted around 36.6 per cent of
India’s imports.
Trade Deficit
With the consistent rise in exports and decline
in imports, trade deficit narrowed to US$ 5.6 billion
during March 2011 as against a deficit of US$ 9.3
billion in March 2010 (Statement 1). The trade
deficit on a cumulative basis was also marginally lower at US$ 104.8 billion in 2010-11 than US$ 109.6
billion in 2009-10 due to lower order of increase in
imports relative to exports during the period
(Statement 2).

During April-December 2010, trade deficit on oil
account stood at US$ 45.1 billion, which was higher by
US$ 3.1 billion over the level of US$ 42.0 billion a year ago. The trade deficit on non-oil account during this
period amounted to US$ 33.5 billion, which was lower
by US$ 4.3 billion than US$ 37.8 billion a year ago.

Global Trade
According to the latest monthly data available
from International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) and
International Financial Statistics (IFS), world merchandise exports witnessed a turnaround in
November 2009 and thereafter followed a continuous
rising trend till March 2010, albeit with some
moderation in the subsequent months. However, it
could be observed that India’s export performance has
been better than the overall global trends (Chart 2).
Cross-country comparison of export performance
shows that India fared well in 2010 as compared to
many emerging market economies including China
(Table 7).
