India’s Engineering Goods Exports Jump 21% in June 2026

On July 27, EEPC India reported that engineering-goods exports rose 21% year-on-year in June to $11.48 billion. The increase was led by higher demand from China, the United States, Germany and Oman. Shipments to China climbed 74% to $361.47 million, while the United States remained the largest market with $1.95 billion in sales. Exports to Oman surged to roughly $259 million, a rise of more than five-fold.

Exports grew across all regions except the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, where shipments fell. The sharp rise in Oman helped keep the West Asia-North Africa (WANA) region in positive territory. Twenty-seven of the 34 engineering product categories recorded year-on-year growth; declines were noted in lead products, internal-combustion engines, cranes, lifts and office equipment.

EEPC India chairman Pankaj Chadha said the sector has shown “immense resilience” amid global trade-flow disruptions linked to the Red Sea and Strait of Hormuz crises. He warned that continued government support will be needed to sustain momentum as emerging risks persist.

Engineering goods now account for 28.4% of India’s total merchandise exports, according to government quick estimates. For the April-June quarter of fiscal 2026/27, cumulative engineering exports reached $34.14 billion, an 18.09% rise over the same period a year earlier. Analysts note that the sector’s performance provides a buffer for India’s broader trade balance, which faces higher freight, insurance and transit costs due to ongoing maritime disruptions.
