India's exports growth unlikely to improve due to weak global demand: EEPC DNA The growth in India's exports is unlikely to improve in coming months as global demand is expected to remain weak, experts on Monday said. The fall in exports, particularly in the engineering sector for several months in a row, is worrying, Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC) said in a statement. "Exports are a crucial component of GDP and overall job-creating activity, and the onus must now be on the finance minister to be liberal with export incentives without waiting for the Budget. February end will be too late," it said. Richa Gupta, Senior Director, Deloitte, in India too said trade situation is not likely to gain traction.

Export revival would also be difficult as other emerging markets try and export their way out of the latest slowdown," she said.
