India ke exports ka graph toh upar jaa raha hai, but chote businesses, yani ki MSMEs, abhi bhi stuck hain.
FY26 mein Exports ka Dhamaka
Fiscal year 2025-26 mein India ka total goods and services export $860.09 billion tak pahunch gaya, jo pichle saal se 4.22% zyada hai. Ismein services exports ka contribution sabse bada raha, jo 7.94% badh kar $418.31 billion ho gaya. Merchandise exports thoda dheere, sirf 0.93% badh kar $441.78 billion tak pahuncha. Import bhi 6.47% badh gaye, isliye trade deficit $119.30 billion ho gaya. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal ne bola hai ki businesses ko Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) ka faayda uthana chahiye. Goal toh 2030 tak $2 trillion export ka hai, par experts ko global economic conditions aur West Asia mein chal rahe issues ki wajah se yeh thoda ambitious lag raha hai. Global trade volume growth bhi 2026 mein 0.5% rehne ka andaaza hai.
MSMEs Ke Liye Mushkil Raste
Industry ke log bata rahe hain ki MSMEs ko export market mein enter karne mein kaafi dikkat aa rahi hai. Costly compliance, strict testing rules, loans mehange milna, collateral ki kami, foreign buyers se payment mein der, certifications ka kharcha aur logistics ki problem, yeh sab baatein unki growth rok rahi hain. Credit gap lagbhag Rs 30 lakh crore ka hai, jisse unka working capital aur expansion ruk raha hai. Regulations mein consistency nahi hai aur systems fragmented hain, jisse choti companies ke liye trade karna aur bhi mushkil ho jaata hai. MSMEs desh ke lagbhag 46% exports karte hain, par yeh problems unki international presence badhane mein obstacle ban rahi hain.
Export Targets Par Risk?
MSMEs ki yeh lagatar problems India ke export targets ke liye bada risk hain. Government ne Export Promotion Mission (EPM) jaisi cheezein shuru ki hain, jismein ₹25,060 crore ka budget hai, financing costs aur credit access ki problems ko solve karne ke liye. Lekin yeh programs ground par kitne effective honge, yeh dekhna baaki hai. Current FTAs ka kam use bhi dikhata hai ki sirf agreements kaafi nahi hain, companies ko actual mein connect karna hoga. Agar yeh structural issues solve nahi hue, toh 2030 tak $2 trillion export ka goal miss ho sakta hai, specially jab global economy slow ho rahi hai, protectionism badh raha hai aur tariffs bhi chal rahe hain.
Government Support Ka Execution Kaise Hoga?
Minister Piyush Goyal ne government support ka promise kiya hai, jismein existing programs aur new measures se barriers kam karna aur ease of doing business badhana shamil hai. EPM jaise initiatives mein financial help, interest subsidies, collateral-free loans aur export factoring bhi mil raha hai. Lekin experts aur industry ke andar wale log policy goals aur unke actual implementation ke beech ek gap feel kar rahe hain, specially payment systems aur consistent regulations ko lekar. India ki economic growth, jo 2026 mein 6.4% se 6.9% ke beech rehne ka forecast hai, woh exports par depend karti hai. Lekin MSMEs ki structural problems is progress ko slow kar sakti hain. Agar export figures achhe hain, toh bhi most export businesses ki problems dikha rahi hain ki long-term goals achieve karne ke liye operational execution aur systemic reforms mein kaafi sudhar ki zaroorat hai.
