India Diversifies Export Markets Amid U.S. Slowdown
A recent report from State Bank of India (SBI) shows that while exports to the U.S. have slowed, India’s merchandise exports are rising overall due to stronger shipments to emerging markets like UAE, China and others. The Economic Times+1
Why this matters:
- Reduced reliance on the U.S. gives Indian exporters more flexibility
- Emerging markets may offer faster growth and less saturated competition
What to do: - Evaluate whether your business is too focused on one geography
- Use our services to identify new verified buyers in emerging markets → internal link to our buyer-lead service
India-Israel FTA Talks Get Strategic Focus
Negotiations between India and Israel on a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) have resumed with a renewed emphasis on strategic sectors like defence, technology and agri-tech rather than just merchandise. The Economic Times
Why this matters for exporters:
- Potential new market access in high-value, niche segments
- Early awareness gives time for adjusting product/service mixes
What to do: - Align your products or capabilities with strategic sectors (e.g., agri-tech, processed goods)
- Let us help you identify which items could benefit from the future FTA
India’s Sugar Export Quota at Risk as Mills Hold Back
India’s second-largest sugar producer status notwithstanding, mills are reluctant to export due to global sugar prices being significantly lower than domestic levels. As a result, India’s 1.5 million-ton export quota may not be fully utilised. Reuters
Why this matters:
- For agro-exporters: price arbitrage and cost-structure shifts might affect competitiveness
- For sourcing: supply chain planning becomes more complex
What to do: - Review your raw-material sourcing strategy if you deal in sugar or related agro-goods
- Consider consulting EximHub for how to pivot into other agro/commodity export opportunities
Solar Module Exports Hit by U.S. Tariffs
India’s solar module exports in September fell sharply, from around USD 134 million to USD 80 million, largely due to U.S. tariffs and scrutiny on imported components. Reuters
Why this matters:
- High-technology and manufacturing exporters must be especially aware of tariff risk
- Supply-chain resilience and alternative markets become important
What to do: - Map export dependencies to the U.S. and explore secondary markets
- Use EximHub’s buyer-research service to identify non-U.S. destinations for solar/renewable exports
Action Plan for Exporters
- Diversify markets: Do not rely exclusively on one destination — emerging markets are growing.
- Adjust product strategy: Align with upcoming FTAs and strategic sectors.
