Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said India is aiming for $1 trillion in exports in the current financial year.
He said exports reached $480 billion in April-September, reflecting 14% growth in the first half.
Goyal said the target would require roughly 16% growth and expressed confidence that India can reach it.
He linked the goal to strong performance, government initiatives, and rising global trust in India as a partner.

In other remarks at a college event, Goyal said India has never opened its dairy sector in any free trade agreement and will not allow imports of genetically modified products.
He said those areas are sensitive because they protect domestic farmers and respect religious sentiments.
