By how much did India's merchandise exports grow during April-October of FY 2026-27?
- A.10.93%
- B.16.66%
- C.21.96%
- D.29.90%
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 21.96%, the growth recorded by merchandise, that is goods, exports over the seven months from April to October of FY 2026-27. Goods clearly outpaced the other half of the basket during this stretch. Option A, 10.93%, is the growth posted by services exports in the same period, so it belongs to the other component and not to merchandise. Option B, 16.66%, is the growth of total exports, goods and services taken together, which naturally sits between the two component rates. Option D, 29.90%, is the year-on-year growth of total exports in the single month of October, a month in which merchandise alone surged 45.06% to US$ 49.47 billion; it is a monthly figure, not a seven-month one. Candidates should note how the same release carries separate rates for goods, services, the combined basket and individual months.
