Key Findings
🏭

Gujarat pulled ahead

Gujarat overtook Maharashtra as the top exporter in 2020-21, and its exports roughly doubled to a 2022-23 peak of US$146.5 billion. In 2024-25 it supplied 26.6% of India’s exports, up from 22.0% in 2017-18.

🎯

Five States, two-thirds of exports

Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh made up 65.5% of India’s exports in 2024-25. The top-five share peaked at 69.1% in 2022-23.

🚀

Southern risers

Telangana grew fastest among large exporters, at 13.5% a year from 2017-18 to 2023-24, and nearly tripled to US$19.1 billion by 2024-25. Tamil Nadu’s exports rose 75% to US$52.1 billion.

⚠️

Treat 2024-25 State figures with care

Seven north-western States and UTs fall from US$39.1 billion to US$5.7 billion in 2024-25, and exports not allocated to any State jump from 1.9% to 11.0% of the total. This points to incomplete State reporting, not a real collapse.
