India’s Foreign Trade: 2010-11 (April-June) * This article reviews India’s merchandise trade performance during 2010-11 (April- June) on the basis of data released by the Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics (DGCI&S); disaggregated commodity-wise and direction-wise details for the period 2009- 10 (April-January) are also analysed. Highlights • India’s merchandise exports during June 2010 at US$ 17.7 billion recorded a growth of 30.4 per cent as compared with a decline of 29.1 per cent registered in June 2009. For the ninth successive month, the exports have registered a positive growth. • During April-June 2010 exports stood at US$ 50.8 billion, posting an increase of 32.3 per cent as against a decline of 31.8 per cent during April-June 2009. • India’s merchandise imports during June 2010 at US$ 28.3 billion showed a growth of 23.0 per cent as against a decline of 20.5 per cent recorded in June 2009. This was due to growth in both petroleum, oil and lubricants (POL) and non-POL imports. The rise in POL imports has been sharper than that of non-POL imports. This is the eighth successive month that imports have registered a positive growth. However, the growth rate registered in June 2010 is the lowest since December 2009. • During April-June 2010, imports at US$ 83.0 billion registered a rise of 34.4 per cent (30.4 per cent decline a year ago). • Petroleum, oil and lubricants (POL) imports at US$ 25.3 billion during April- June 2010 showed a high growth of 51.8 per cent, as against a decline of 43.7 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-June 2010 stood at US$ 78.2 per barrel (ranging between US$ 74.3–84.1 per barrel), which was higher by 32.3 per cent than US$ 59.1 per barrel (ranged between US$ 50.1–69.1 per barrel) during April-June 2009. • Non-POL imports during April-June 2010 at US$ 57.8 billion recorded a growth of 28.0 per cent as against a decline of 23.7 per cent in April-June 2009. • Trade deficit during April-June 2010 amounted to US$ 32.3 billion, which was higher by US$ 8.9 billion (37.9 per cent) than US$ 23.4 billion during April- June 2009 due to relatively larger increase in imports than exports during the period. • The disaggregated data on commoditywise merchandise trade as well as direction of trade reveal that trade of all major commodity groups and with major trading partners registered a decline during 2009-10 (April-January) over the corresponding period of preceding year.
India’s Merchandise Trade during April-June 2010 Exports India’s merchandise exports during June 2010 at US$ 17.7 billion recorded a growth of 30.4 per cent as compared with a decline of 29.1 per cent registered in June 2009 (Statement 1). For the ninth successive month, the exports have registered 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 June 2010 is lower than the exports value of US$ 19.2 billion recorded during June 2008. Cumulatively, exports during April-June 2010 stood at US$ 50.8 billion, posting an increase of 32.3 per cent as against a decline of 31.8 per cent during April-June 2009 (Table 1 and Statement 2).

During 2009-10 (April-January), exports of all major commodity groups declined with engineering goods registering the sharpest decline of about 24 per cent followed by petroleum products (-11.3 per cent), leather and manufacture (-11.0 per cent) and gems and jewellery (-7.1 per cent) (Statement 3). The overall decline in exports of engineering goods, which accounted for almost one-fourth of India’s total exports, was caused mainly by fall in exports of manufacture of metals, iron and steel and machinery and instruments. More than 65 per cent of the contraction in exports of engineering goods was brought about by these components. As per the information available for exports of commodities destined for different countries, much of the contraction in engineering goods exports was attributable to the decline of these exports to the US, the UAE, and Singapore that together constituted around 24 per cent of India’s engineering goods exports. However, India’s exports of engineering goods to China grew during the period leading to almost three-fold increase in China’s share. The decline in oil exports was mainly on account of fall in world oil prices. Otherwise, during the period there was a growth of 20.3 per cent in volume of oil exports as against a decline of 6.0 per cent during 2008-09 (April-January) [Chart 3]. Destination-wise, during 2009-10 (April- January), developing countries and OECD countries, respectively, accounted for 38.7 per cent and 36.3 per cent of India’s total exports (Table 3). Another major destination was OPEC with the share of 20.9 per cent. During the period, the share of developing countries increased while those of OECD and OPEC declined. Country-wise, during 2009- 10 (April-January), the UAE emerged as the largest importer of Indian goods with a share of 12.9 per cent, followed by the US, China, Hong Kong and Singapore. These five countries together accounted for 38.3 per cent of India’s total exports. In terms of direction of India’s exports during 2009-10 (April-January) decline in exports spread across all major markets, such as the EU, OPEC and developing countries (Statement 4).

Imports India’s merchandise imports during June 2010 at US$ 28.3 billion showed a growth of 23.0 per cent as against a decline of 20.5 per cent recorded in June 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 eighth successive month that POL imports have registered a positive growth (Chart 1). During April-June 2010, imports at US$ 83.0 billion registered a rise of 34.4 per cent (30.4 per cent decline a year ago) [Table 1 and Statement 2]. Petroleum, oil and lubricants (POL) imports at US$ 25.3 billion during April-June 2010 showed a high growth 51.8 per cent, as against a decline of 43.7 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-June 2010 stood at US$ 78.2 per barrel (ranging between US$ 74.3–84.1 per barrel), which was higher by 32.3 per cent than US$ 59.1 per barrel (ranging between US$ 50.1 – 69.1 per barrel) during April-June 2009 (Table 4). Non-POL imports during April-June 2010 at US$ 57.8 billion recorded a growth of 28.0 per cent as against a decline of 23.7 per cent in April- June 2009. The commodity-wise imports data for 2009-10 (April-January) indicated that POL imports at US$ 70.2 billion showed a decline of 18.1 per cent as against a high growth of 36.1 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 12.5 per cent as against a growth of 10.8 per cent during 2008-09 (April-January). Non-POL imports during 2009-10 (April- January) at US$ 161.3 billion witnessed a decline of 13.5 per cent as against a growth of 30.2 per cent during the corresponding period of 2008-09.

The slowdown in non-POL imports was mainly due to decline in imports of capital goods, pearls, precious and semi-precious stones, fertilisers, iron and steel 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 (wheat, cereals, edible oil, pulses, sugar) showed a high growth of 77.7 per cent during the period as against a growth of 5.7 per cent during 2008-09 (April-January) (Statement 5). During 2009-10 (April- January) the shares of gold and silver and chemicals in total imports went up, while those of petroleum, crude and products, iron and steel and fertilisers came down (Table 5). Source-wise, during 2009-10 (April- January), OECD countries had the highest share in India’s total imports (33.1 per cent), followed by developing countries and OPEC (Table 6). The shares of developing countries and OECD countries increased, while that of OPEC declined during the period. Country-wise, China continued to be the largest source of imports with the share of 10.9 per cent in total imports, followed by the US, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Switzerland. These five countries together constituted around 33.9 per cent of India’s imports.

Trade Deficit The deficit in merchandise trade stood at US$ 10.6 billion in June 2010 as against a level of US$ 9.4 billion in June 2009 (Chart 1). Trade deficit during April-June 2010 amounted to US$ 32.3 billion, which was higher by US$ 8.9 billion (37.9 per cent) than US$ 23.4 billion during April-June 2009 due to relatively larger increase in imports than exports during the period (Statement 2). During 2009-10 (April-January) trade deficit on oil account stood at US$ 48.2 billion, which was lower by US$ 12.6 billion than US$ 60.8 billion a year ago. Trade deficit on non-oil account during this period amounted to US$ 40.5 billion, which was also lower by US$ 10.3 billion than US$ 50.8 billion in 2008-09 (April-January). 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), after following a continuous rising trend during November 2009 to March 2010, the growth in exports of world economy and of advanced economies has marginally slowed down during April 2010 (Chart 2 and Table 7).
