16.89 billion (Rs. 75147 crore) which was 36.2
per cent higher in dollar terms (21.1 percent
in Rupee terms) than the level of US$ 12.39
billion (Rs. 62064 crore) during April, 2009.
- The
commodity-wise exports data released by Directorate
General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics
(DGCI&S) for April-September 2009 revealed
that manufactured goods maintained the largest
share at 69.4 percent, followed by petroleum
products (13.6 percent) and primary products
(13.4 percent). Moreover, the share of manufactured
goods has increased.
- Exports of primary
products during April-September 2009 showed
a decline of 29.3 per cent as against a high
growth of 43.0 per cent a year ago, due to decline
in its major components. Within primary products,
agricultural and allied products exports at
US$ 7.2 billion showed a decline of 30.6 per
cent (growth of 50.8 per cent during the corresponding
period of previous year). This was due to decline
in most of its components. Exports of ores and
minerals declined by 26.5 per cent as against
a growth of 27.6 per cent a year ago, mainly
due to decline in iron ore and processed minerals.
-
Exports of manufactured
goods during April-September 2009 at US$ 54.3
billion exhibited a decline of 23.0 per cent
in contrast with a high growth of 46.4 per cent
a year ago, attributable to a contraction in
its major components. Within manufactured goods,
exports of engineering goods at US$ 18.6 billion
declined by 31.3 per cent against a high growth
of 58.1 per cent a year ago. All the major constituents

a decline of 19.0 per cent (a growth of 31.5
per cent during April-September 2008). The decline
in the exports of chemicals and related products
was led by a fall in exports of its largest
component, viz., ‘basic chemicals, pharmaceuticals
and cosmetics’ as also in other components.
Exports of textiles and textile products during
April-September 2009 at US$ 9.3 billion exhibited
a decline of 11.6 per cent as against a growth

fabrics, made-ups.
- Exports of petroleum products
at US$ 10.7 billion during April-September 2009
registered a decline of 43.0 per cent as against
a growth of 47.4 per cent a year ago. This occurred

prices during April- September 2009 over April-September
2008 . However, the volume of these exports
grew by 4.1 per cent during the period as compared
with a decline of 9.9 per cent during April-September
