About
This dataset provides insights into India's export and import activities from 1997 to July 2022. It offers a view of India's foreign trade patterns during a pivotal period following the 1991 economic liberalisation, which significantly altered the country's economic landscape by reducing high tariffs and relaxing restrictions on foreign investment. Historically, India maintained semi-autonomous diplomatic relations even before independence and was a founding member of the League of Nations and the United Nations. Post-independence, India joined the Commonwealth of Nations and supported other independence movements. During the Cold War, India pursued a non-alignment policy, though it developed strong ties and received military support from the Soviet Union. By 2016, India was a significant player in global services trade, ranking as the eighth largest exporter of commercial services worldwide.
