Category : Business and economics Published on: December 29 2025
The RBI’s Handbook of Statistics on Indian States 2024–25 shows India’s export growth is increasingly concentrated in a few developed coastal and industrial States. The top 10 States now account for over 91% of exports, with Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh contributing nearly 70%. While coastal regions integrate deeper into global supply chains, large parts of northern and eastern India lag, raising concerns over regional inequality, fragile export resilience, and limited employment generation despite government efforts to boost hinterland exports.
