  "account": "India's trade with BRICS nations has surged by 100% in the last five years, reaching a record $417 billion in 2025-26, according to a report by ASSOCHAM, a leading industry body. The report titled \"The Rise of BRICS Nations: An opportunity to scale Indian Exports to USD 200 Bn to BRICS by 2030\" highlights the significant growth in merchandise exports, with India shipping goods valued at $96 billion to partner countries within the BRICS bloc during the same period. ASSOCHAM President Nirmal K. Minda emphasized the potential for Indian exporters to diversify their markets beyond traditional buyers through enhanced south-south cooperation. He stated that the growing significance of developing and emerging member countries reflects the vibrant trajectory of growth and can be attained with a sense of building for resilience, innovation, cooperation, and sustainability. The report also highlights the potential gains for domestic manufacturers across various sectors, including engineering goods, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, textiles and apparel, automobiles, electronics, and mineral items. ASSOCHAM President Minda pointed out that India's strategic policy initiatives have demonstrated strength over the years, enhancing trade, investment, dialogue, and relations with BRICS member countries.",
