With the help of data give an idea about India’s balance of trade since 1991.

Answer»

The following data table shows India’s foreign trade in 1991-92,1998-99 and 2014-15.

India’s foreign trade after 1991 (in million US $)

1991-921998-992014-15
Goods exported17.933.2310.5
Goods imported19.442.4448.0
Balance of trade-1.5-9.2-187.5

Source: Economic Survey of India, 2015-16

As can be seen in table, although India’s foreign trade has increased over years but India’s exports have never exceeded its imports. Hence, our balance of trade has always remained negative.
