India to Discuss US Trade Concerns With Exporters

India Meets Exporters to Discuss US Trade Challenges and Market Access

India's Commerce Ministry is meeting industry representatives and exporters on September 1 to discuss the country's trade relationship with the United States. Exporters are expected to raise concerns surrounding market access, tariffs and competitiveness.

Indian Rupee Ends August With Monthly Gain

Rupee Gains 0.2% in August as Foreign Flows and RBI Support Aid Currency

The Indian rupee ended August with a modest monthly gain after strengthening against the US dollar on the final trading day. Foreign flows linked to the latest MSCI index adjustment and support from the Reserve Bank of India helped the currency remain relatively stable despite pressure from oil prices and global interest-rate expectations.

The rupee closed around ₹95.16 per US dollar, marking a 0.2% rise for the month. Investors are nevertheless watching global crude prices and expectations around US Federal Reserve policy, both of which could influence the currency in September.

For Indian businesses, movements in the rupee can directly affect import costs, overseas borrowing, fuel prices and the competitiveness of exporters.

Economic Growth Remains a Major Focus

India Economy: Growth Outlook Remains Strong Despite Emerging Global Risks

India's economic performance continues to attract attention as economists assess the country's growth outlook amid changing global trade conditions and geopolitical uncertainty. A recent Reuters poll had projected India's April-June growth at around 7.1%, showing continued expansion while also pointing to a moderation from earlier strong readings.

The country's manufacturing activity, domestic consumption and investment remain important factors for future growth. At the same time, energy prices, global demand, currency movements and international trade developments could influence the pace of expansion during the remainder of the year.

For businesses and investors, the key question will be whether domestic demand can continue to offset weaker external conditions. India's large consumer market and expanding technology and manufacturing sectors remain important strengths.

India Industrial Growth Slows to 6.7% in July

India's industrial production growth moderated to 6.7% year-on-year in July 2026, compared with a revised 8.8% growth in June. The slowdown was mainly linked to weaker mining activity and slower growth in some manufacturing and electricity segments.

Despite the moderation, several areas continued to perform strongly. Manufacturing output expanded 7.3%, while capital goods production rose 16.1%. Consumer durables also recorded double-digit growth, suggesting continued demand in some parts of the economy.
