India exports to us rises to register $ 11.2 billion in March, the trade surplus expands sharply

India’s exports to the United States reached the highest record level of $ 11.2 billion in March 2025, humans exceeded $ 10 billion for the first time and show an increase of approximately 50 % over an average of 12 months. This increase in exports led to the trade of 15 billion dollars for this month, according to the US Census Office.

This increase in trade follows a 90 -day tariff announced by US President Donald Trump and an increasing monster towards an India potential trade agreement.

Strong export performance in March was a successful quarter of the bilateral trade. From January to March 2025, India has exported the goods of $ 27.7 billion to the United States and imported $ 10.5 billion, which led to a trade surplus of $ 17.2 billion in the interest of India.

“India gives the doors from its exports record to the United States in March 11.2 dollars, and the first time passed 10 billion dollars. About 50 % of the average for 12 months. The total bilateral commodity trade also sets a record number- about $ 15 billion for this month,” Richard Rousseau wrote, a chair in political studies in India at the center and international studies, written on X.

In comparison, the total merchandise trade between the two countries amounted to $ 129.2 billion in 2024, an increase of 124.1 billion dollars in 2023. All numbers are nominal and not seasonal average.

India and the United States commercial talks

India, which faces a 26 % mutual tariff, is involved in fruitful talks with the United States regarding the Bilateral Trade Agreement. India is expected to be the first country to successfully negotiate a new trade agreement under President Donald Trump’s updated policies.

In a modern media interaction in the White House, President Trump revealed that India has agreed to eliminate definitions on imports from the United States. This development comes amid bilateral commercial discussions between the two countries and is seen as an important step, taking into account the levels of historically high tariffs in India.

“India has one of the highest definitions in the world. We will not bear it, they have already agreed to drop it, and drop it to anything. They have already agreed. They didn’t do it for anyone else, but I am,” Trump stated. “

According to a report issued by Bloomberg, India made a proposal to remove definitions on specific American imports such as steel, car components and pharmaceutical preparations. The Zero-Tariff show will be traded and limited to a pre-specific amount of imports. This proposal requires allowing some industrial goods to enter from the United States, but only even a specific share. Any imports that go beyond this limit will remain subject to standard duties.
