India's exports to the U.S. continued to grow despite new tariffs imposed by the U.S. government. Between September and November 2025, exports rose sharply in some sectors. Notably, telecom instruments, mainly smartphones not hit by tariffs, jumped 237%. Electrical machinery exports also increased by 15%. However, goods directly targeted by tariffs saw declines. Pearls and precious stones dropped 78.5%, gold jewellery fell 39%, cotton fabrics slid 23%, marine products were down 17%, and readymade cotton garments fell by 4.6%. The strong rise in smartphone shipments masked these losses, allowing total exports to the U.S. to rise. Some sectors fought back strongly by finding new markets. Marine products are a prime example. Although exports to the U.S. fell, overall marine exports grew 17%. India boosted shipments to China by 23% and entered new European markets. Spain received over $50 million in marine exports, while Belgium's imports surged by 124%. The Netherlands, Germany, and Italy also showed solid gains ranging from 23% to 65%. This helped fill the gap left by U.S. demand. Similarly, readymade cotton garment exports benefited from increased demand in Europe. The depreciation of the rupee to 90 against the dollar helped Indian exporters explore and grow in new markets, according to Siddhartha Rajagopal, Executive Director of the Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council. K. Anand Kumar, president of Seafood Exporters Association of India in Andhra Pradesh, welcomed the export growth to the EU and China. He urged the Indian government to negotiate Free Trade Agreements to support the aquatic export sector further. This data highlights India's agile export strategy amid challenges, leveraging robust smartphone sales and expanding its presence in global markets, beyond the U.S.
