India’s BRICS Trade Doubles as $200 Billion Exports Targeted
India is trading much more with BRICS countries than it did five years ago.
Total trade grew from $203 billion to $417 billion.
India exported $96 billion worth of goods to these countries in 2025-26.
A new report says exports could reach $200 billion by 2030.
It suggests selling more products such as medicines, cars, clothing, electronics and farm goods.
India could also work more closely with BRICS countries on technology, energy and supply chains.
This cooperation may help businesses find new markets and resources.
The report says India’s strong economic growth could support these goals.
