Update: 2012-11-22 23:19 GMT
India’s exports are likely to slip below USD 300 billion – far below the target of USD 360 billion set for the current financial year – due to the global demand slowdown, impacting the economy.

An internal note prepared by the Commerce Ministry pegs exports in 2012-13 at USD 291 billion.

Even if the global market conditions start improving dramatically from now, merchandise exports at best could be USD 300-320 billion, the note added. India had recorded the highest ever export of USD 307 billion in the last fiscal.
