India's Engineering Exports Grow 3.88% in 2025
India's engineering exports grew by 3.88% to $90.73 billion during the first nine months of 2025.
This growth was seen despite some countries imposing higher taxes.
Exports to the US and EU increased, while exports to China saw a big jump.
However, exports to the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and some other regions declined.

The chairman of EEPC India said this growth is a good sign, especially given the challenges in the global market.
The share of engineering in India's total exports was 28.5% in December 2025.
