The double-digit growth in engineering goods exports in April 2025 could be attributed to a lower base coupled with higher exports of electric machinery and equipment, ships, boats, and floating structures, motor vehicles/cars, and copper and its products, among others.

Engineering goods exports to key markets such as the US, the UAE, the UK, Singapore and Brazil posted strong growth in April 2025 with 11.28 per cent (year-on-year) increase in outbound shipments to $9.51 billion.

Engineering exports to some of the major markets such as China, Turkey, Mexico and Italy, however, declined during the month, per a detailed analysis done by exporters’ body EEPC India.

“That our exporters have achieved the growth despite multiple global challenges is indeed laudable. The support of the government remains critical during such difficult times. The recently concluded India-UK Free Trade Agreement is an important step towards strengthening our position in the UK market. We sincerely hope that in the coming days we will continue in this growth path,” said Pankaj Chadha, Chairman, EEPC India.

Engineering goods exports to the US grew 17 per cent in April to $1.66 billion while shipments to the UAE jumped 37.3 per cent to $538.8 million.  Exports to China declined 21.7 per cent to $164.8 million.

“The double-digit growth in engineering goods exports in April 2025 could be attributed to a lower base coupled with higher exports of electric machinery and equipment, ships, boats, and floating structures, motor vehicles/cars, and copper and its products, among others. Exports of iron and steel also came back to the growth path after several months,” per the EEPC analysis.

The share of engineering goods in India’s total merchandise exports increased to 24.71 per cent in April 2025 against 24.21 per cent in April 2024, per government figures.

During the month, as many as 28 out of 34 engineering panels posted growth in exports. Exports of the remaining six panels declined. These included aluminium and products, zinc and products, aircraft and spacecrafts, railway and transport equipment, and cranes, lifts & winches.
