India’s Foreign Trade : 2010-11 (April-May)* This article reviews India’s merchandise trade performance during 2010-11 (April- May) on the basis of data released by the Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics (DGCI&S); disaggregated commodity-wise details for the period April-December 2009 are also analysed. Highlights • India’s merchandise exports during May 2010 at US$ 16.1 billion recorded a growth of 31.1 per cent as compared with a decline of 34.1 per cent registered in May 2009. This is the eighth successive month that exports have shown a positive growth since October 2009. • During April-May 2010 exports stood at US$ 33.0 billion, posting an increase of 33.2 per cent as against a decline of 33.3 per cent during April-May 2009. • India’s merchandise imports during May 2010 at US$ 27.4 billion showed a growth of 37.1 per cent as against a decline of 32.0 per cent recorded in May 2009. This was due to growth in both petroleum, oil and lubricants (POL) and non-POL imports. The rise in POL imports is sharper than that of non-POL imports. This is the seventh successive month that imports have registered a positive growth. • During April-May 2010, imports at US$ 54.7 billion registered a rise of 39.5 per cent (34.3 per cent decline a year ago). • POL imports at US$ 16.9 billion during April-May 2010 showed a high growth of 68.5 per cent, as against a decline of 48.3 per cent a year ago, primarily due to increase in international crude oil prices over the period. The average price of Indian basket of crude oil during April- May 2010 stood at US$ 80.1 per barrel (ranging between US$ 76.1–84.1 per barrel), which was higher by 48.2 per cent than US$ 54.1 per barrel (ranging between US$ 50.1–58.0 per barrel) during April-May 2009. • Non-POL imports during April-May 2010 at US$ 37.8 billion recorded a growth of 29.6 per cent as against a decline of 27.6 per cent in April-May 2009. • Trade deficit during April-May 2010 amounted to US$ 21.7 billion, which was higher by US$ 7.3 billion (50.3 per cent) than US$ 14.4 billion during April-May 2009 due to relatively larger increase in imports than exports during the period. • The disaggregated data on commoditywise merchandise trade as well as source and direction of exports and imports reveal that trade of all major commodity groups and with major trading partners registered a decline during April- December 2009 over the corresponding period of previous year. India’s Merchandise Trade during 2010-11 (April-May) Exports India’s merchandise exports during May 2010 at US$ 16.1 billion recorded a growth of 31.1 per cent as compared with a decline of 34.1 per cent registered in May 2009 (Statement 1). This is the eighth successive month that exports have shown a positive growth after declining for a year since October 2008 (Chart 1). However, still the exports have not reached the 2008-09 levels as the exports value in May 2010 is lower than the exports value of US$ 18.7 billion recorded during May 2008. Cumulatively, exports during April-May 2010 stood at US$ 33.0 billion, posting an increase of 33.2 per cent as against a decline of 33.3 per cent during April-May 2009 (Table 1 and Statement 2). The commodity-wise exports data released by DGCI&S for April-December 2009 revealed that manufactured goods maintained the largest share at 64.9 per cent, followed by petroleum products (15.5 per cent) and primary products (13.9 per cent). Moreover, the share of primary products has increased while those of manufactured goods and petroleum products have witnessed a decline (Table 2).

During April-December 2009, exports of all major commodity groups declined (Statement 3). While, the decline was evident across all major commodity groups, engineering goods registered the sharpest decline of about 25 per cent followed by petroleum products (-17.6 per cent), agricultural and allied products (-15.5 per cent) and gems and jewellery (-13.2 per cent). However, the sectors which were recovering, though still in the negative zone, consisted of ores and minerals and textiles. The significant decline in oil exports was mainly on account of fall in world oil prices (Chart 3). Otherwise, the volume of these exports grew by 19.5 per cent during the period as compared with a decline of 7.1 per cent during April-December 2008.

As per the data available for exports of commodities destined for different countries, it can be highlighted that the fall in exports of agriculture and allied products was brought about mainly by the fall in exports of these products to the US, the UAE, Bangladesh and Japan, which together constituted around 24 per cent of India’s agriculture and allied products exports. Similarly, the decline in chemicals exports was mainly on account of decline of these exports to Germany, Brazil and the UAE. The decline in gems and jewellery exports was mainly attributable to the decline of these exports to the UK, the US and Belgium, which together constituted around one-fourth of India’s gems and jewellery exports. The overall decline in exports of engineering goods, which accounted for almost onefourth of India’s total exports, was caused mainly by fall in exports of manufactures of metals, iron and steel and machinery and instruments. Much of the contraction in these exports was attributable to the decline of these exports to the UAE, the US and Singapore that together constituted about 24 per cent of India’s engineering goods exports. The overall contraction in textiles exports was largely attributable to fall in exports of cotton yarn, fabrics, made-ups, etc. and natural silk yarn fabrics made-up, etc. Destination-wise, during April-December 2009, developing countries and OECD countries, respectively, accounted for 38.3 per cent and 36.3 per cent of India’s total exports (Table 3). Another major contributor was OPEC with the share of 21.3 per cent. During April- December 2009, the share of developing countries increased while those of OECD and OPEC declined. Country-wise, the UAE, with a share of 13.0 per cent, was the largest destination for India’s exports in April- December 2009, followed by the US, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and the Netherlands. These six countries together accounted for 42.2 per cent of India’s total exports. Direction of India’s exports during April-December 2009 indicated that exports to all major markets, such as the EU, OPEC and developing countries declined (Statement 4).

Imports India’s merchandise imports during May 2010 at US$ 27.4 billion showed a growth of 37.1 per cent as against a decline of 32.0 per cent recorded in May 2009. This was due to growth in both petroleum, oil and lubricants (POL) and non-POL imports (Statement 1). However, the rise in POL imports is sharper than that of non-POL imports. After a continuous decline for eleven months, imports turned around in November 2009. This is the seventh successive month that imports have registered a positive growth (Chart 1). During April-May 2010, imports at US$ 54.7 billion registered a rise of 39.5 per cent (34.3 per cent decline a year ago) [Table 1 and Statement 2]. POL imports at US$ 16.9 billion during April-May 2010 showed a high growth of 68.5 per cent, as against a decline of 48.3 per cent a year ago, primarily due to the increase in international crude oil prices over the period. The average price of Indian basket of crude oil during April-May 2010 stood at US$ 80.1 per barrel (ranging between US$ 76.1–84.1 per barrel), which was higher by 48.2 per cent than US$ 54.1 per barrel (ranging between US$ 50.1–58.0 per barrel) during April-May 2009 (Table 4). Non-POL imports during April-May 2010 at US$ 37.8 billion recorded a growth of 29.6 per cent as against a decline of 27.6 per cent in April-May 2009. The commodity-wise imports data for April-December 2009 indicated that POL imports at US$ 59.8 billion showed a decline of 26.3 per cent as against a high growth of 49.0 per cent a year ago, mainly due to reduction in international crude oil prices over the period (Statement 5). The volume of POL imports, however, showed a growth of 9.6 per cent as against a growth of 10.1 per cent during April-December 2008.

Non-POL imports during April- December 2009 at US$ 139.4 billion witnessed a decline of 19.3 per cent as against a growth of 34.0 per cent during the corresponding period of 2008. The slowdown in non-POL imports was mainly due to decline in imports of capital goods, pearls, precious and semi-precious stones, gold and silver, fertilisers and nonferrous metals. Within capital goods, the imports of machinery and transport equipments witnessed a larger decline than other components of capital goods. However, imports of bulk consumption goods showed a high growth of 74.7 per cent during the period as against a growth of 6.5 per cent during April-December 2008 (Statement 5). During April-December 2009, the shares of gold and silver and chemicals in total imports went up, while those of petroleum, crude and products, metalliferrous ores, metal scrap, etc., and fertilisers came down (Table 5).

Trade Deficit Trade deficit during April-May 2010 amounted to US$ 21.7 billion, which was higher by US$ 7.3 billion (50.3 per cent) than US$ 14.4 billion during April-May 2009 due to relatively larger increase in imports than exports during the period (Table 1 and Chart 1). Trade deficit on oil account during April- December 2009 stood at US$ 40.5 billion, which was lower by US$ 17.1 billion than US$ 57.6 billion a year ago. Trade deficit on non-oil account during this period amounted to US$ 33.8 billion, which was also lower by US$ 14.8 billion than US$ 48.6 billion in April- December 2008. Global Trade World merchandise exports after declining for a year witnessed a turnaround in November 2009. According to the latest monthly data available from International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) International Financial Statistics (IFS), since November 2009, the exports of world, emerging and developing economies and advanced economies have been following a continuous rising trend (Chart 2 and Table 7).
