India's total merchandise exports are likely to be worth $117.2 billion in the first quarter (Q1) of fiscal 2022-23 (FY23), according to India Exim Bank. The figure stood at $95.5 billion in Q1 FY22, the bank said. Non-oil exports witnessed a 12.6 per cent growth—amounting to $93 billion—during Q1 this fiscal compared to $82.6 billion in Q1 FY22.

The rise in exports could be attributed largely to the continued increase in global commodity prices, driven by supply shocks, enhanced price competitiveness owing to exchange rate movements, and benefits from possible trade diversion, the bank was cited as saying by a news agency.

The growth forecast may be subject to commodity price volatility and uncertainties in the global economy, mainly driven by the current geopolitical tension, it added.
