This growth highlights the growing significance of BRICS for India's export expansion. The Commerce Ministry data showed exports to China, South Africa, Brazil, and Russia expanding by 34% from $14.9 billion in the same period last fiscal year to $19.9 billion in the latest five-month span. Among the core BRICS countries, China saw the largest increase, with Indian exports rising 39% to $9.6 billion in the first five months of 2026-27. South Africa experienced the fastest growth rate at 58%. Brazil and Russia maintained steady double-digit growth of 13% and 11%. India's export growth to these markets is increasingly becoming a key pillar of its export strategy, outpacing growth in exports to other BRICS countries.",
