What happened: services exports crossed USD 421.3 billion in FY2025-26
Government of India information attributes a continued rise in India’s services exports from FY 2021-22 through FY 2025-26, reaching USD 421.3 billion in FY 2025-26. RBI data cited in the Rajya Sabha reply also identifies the main sub-sectors driving the export base—telecommunications, computer and information services and business services.
What happened in the export mix: major sub-sectors
Telecommunications, computer and information services form the largest share of India’s services exports in FY 2025-26, followed by business services. The government’s framing links overall services export growth to performance in these sub-sectors and associated market access and mobility arrangements.
Background and earlier position: a multi-year upward trajectory
The government data shows a five-year upward trajectory in total services exports from FY 2021-22 onwards. Over the same period, both telecommunications, computer and information services and business services increased year-on-year, indicating that export gains were not confined to a single year or a single sub-sector.
