The decline in engineering goods exports to major markets such as the US and China continued in May, according to the Indian engineering export promotion body, EEPC India. The trend is attributed to a steep drop in domestic demand and concerns over an impending economic recession. In contrast, shipments to Australia and the UAE increased. Cumulative engineering exports fell by 5.71% to $18.28bn in April-May 2023-24 from $19.39bn in the same period last fiscal. Steel remains the primary factor behind the decline, though other base metals have witnessed lesser demand. The goal of India’s government is to achieve $300bn in engineering exports by 2030.
