India’s Exports to US Hit Historic $11 Billion Mark in March: A New Era for Bilateral Trade

 

India’s exports to the United States soared to a record $11.2 billion in March 2025, marking the highest monthly export volume ever between the two countries and crossing the $10 billion milestone for the first time. This nearly 50% jump from India’s typical monthly average of $7.5 billion pushed total bilateral goods trade to an unprecedented $15 billion for March, with imports from India dominating the flow.

 

Key Highlights:

 

•⁠  ⁠India exported $11.2 billion worth of goods to the US in March 2025, while US exports to India stood at $3.8 billion, resulting in a monthly trade surplus of $7.4 billion in India’s favour.

 

•⁠  ⁠The surge follows a 90-day tariff pause announced by US President Donald Trump, prompting businesses to ramp up shipments and fueling stronger-than-usual trade activity.

 

•⁠  ⁠From January to March 2025, India’s exports to the US totaled $27.7 billion, with a cumulative trade surplus of $17.2 billion for the quarter.

 

•⁠  ⁠India is in talks to further ease tariffs on key goods like steel, auto components, and pharmaceuticals as part of ongoing bilateral trade negotiations.

 

Outlook:

With export momentum at an all-time high and ongoing trade talks, India’s economic ties with the US are set to deepen further. The historic March figures signal robust demand for Indian goods and a promising outlook for future bilateral cooperation.
