India's merchandise exports grew upward of 15 per cent up to September 21 this financial year, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said. This happened even as two wars and pressure on the Strait of Hormuz, our main sea route, kept global trade uneasy. The UAE also plans to invest another 25 billion dollars here. If you export or supply exporters, demand looks steady, so plan capacity and shipments accordingly.
