Exports treble to $30 billion in April

India’s exports nearly trebled to over $30 billion during April from $10 billion a year ago, when production and shipments were disrupted due to the lockdowns in India and many parts of the world. Exports were estimated to be 16% higher than April 2019.Preliminary data released by the commerce department on Sunday showed that exports were lifted by a healthy growth in key sectors such as engineering, gems and jewellery and petroleum products.
