CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu has retained its position as India&#8217;s third-largest exporting state for the third consecutive year, with merchandise exports rising from $43.2 billion in 2023-24 to $58.9 billion in 2025-26, Union commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal told Lok Sabha. Tamil Nadu accounts for 13% of the India&#8217;s total exports.The minister was responding to a query from DMK MLAs, G Selvam and Rani Srikumar on the state&#8217;s contribution to the overall merchandise and service exports of the country. TN&#8217;s export performance was driven by strong growth across key manufacturing sectors, particularly electronics, textiles and engineering goods.Electronics exports nearly doubled to $19.97 billion in 2025-26, giving the state a 41.63% share in India&#8217;s total electronics exports. The state also remained a major contributor in traditional export sectors, accounting for 35.59% of India&#8217;s leather exports, 33.38% of motor vehicle exports and 23.13% of textiles and allied product exports during the year.&#8221;Union govt is taking several key steps to strengthen export infrastructure, logistics, ports, industrial corridors, and ease of doing business across the country,&#8221; Goyal said. On export infrastructure, he said 13 projects were completed in TN under the Trade Infrastructure for Export Scheme.Since 2014-15, 94 port projects worth \u20b912,523 crore were implemented in the state. Goyal said Union govt undertook the &#8216;reducing compliance burden&#8217; initiative, under which 2,521 compliances were reduced in TN. The &#8216;national single window system&#8217; was set up to provide end-to-end facilitation and support to investors, while the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan enables data-based decisions for integrated planning of multi-modal infrastructure.Former industries minister T R B Rajaa told TOI that the achievements were powered not merely via national schemes but by DMK&#8217;s focused policy interventions including matching incentives under the electronics components manufacturing scheme, building of advanced manufacturing ecosystems and expansion of industrial infrastructure and export-oriented investments.Between 2021 and 2026, he said, TN aggressively expanded its industrial ecosystem through major sectoral policies, global investor outreach, world-class industrial parks, logistics upgrades, faster clearances, upskilling through schemes like &#8216;Naan Mudhalvan&#8217; and strengthening Guidance Tamil Nadu. &#8220;There was sustained focus on converting MoUs into operational factories. One must remember all of this growth was ensured while global trade headwinds were heavy and while Delhi wasn&#8217;t too friendly either,&#8221; Rajaa said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tamil Nadu makes for 13% of India\u2019s total exports.
