In\u00a0April-August 2025, with 8.65 % growth\u00a0in comparison of last year, India\u2019s services exports continued to demonstrate resilience and growth, reinforcing the country\u2019s position as a leading player in the global services economy. \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Driven by strong performances in sectors such as information technology, business process management, financial services, tourism, and professional consulting, the services segment remains a vital contributor to India\u2019s foreign exchange earnings. The service sector had a\u00a0trade surplus of USD 79.97 Billion in April-August 2025. Pertaining to this, service sector also contributes to the decline in the overall trade deficit with trade surplus in service sector.
