Gautham Raju, Head of Air Freight – Indian Subcontinent, Flexport said, “India’s commodity export trajectory is rapidly shifting from traditional raw materials toward high-value, tech-integrated commodities. Over the coming months, global demand will heavily favor high-tech electronic components (notably smartphones and solar modules), advanced engineering goods, refined petroleum products, specialty chemicals, and organic agricultural staples. Supported by robust Production-Linked Incentive schemes and global supply chain diversification, these high-growth commodities are set to significantly boost India’s foreign trade footprint and catalyze long-term manufacturing growth.”
