Context: India’s Export Outlook in 2025

Despite external pressures—including the new U.S. Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum-—India’s engineering exports grew 7% YoY in January 2025, outpacing the 2% decline in overall merchandise exports.

Top Export Growth Sectors (April 2024–Jan 2025):

  • Aircraft & Spacecraft Parts: +17.8%
  • Auto Components: +15.3%
  • Electric Machinery: +12.1%

Case Study 1: JSW Steel MSME-Driven Excellence

Award: Large Enterprise—Gold Trophy
Category: Top Exporter (2021–22)

JSW Steel’s impressive export performance wouldn’t have been possible without its vast network of MSME suppliers, which

  • Manufactured precision tools and fabricated components
  • Supported plant-level maintenance and R&D needs
  • Ensured flexibility and on-time delivery for export orders

 Lesson: Large players must nurture local MSMEs as strategic allies, not just vendors.

Case Study 2: Calcutta Export Company—MSME Champion

Award: Small Enterprise—Gold Trophy

Calcutta Export Company, though small in scale, adopted big strategies—lean manufacturing, digital ERP systems, and export documentation precision. Its collaborative ties with logistics majors and raw material suppliers helped them scale operations during peak seasons.

 Lesson: MSMEs need structured collaboration with supply chain leaders for global consistency.

  • Tap into emerging markets like Africa and Latin America

Spotlight: Steel & Aluminium Export Challenges Post-Tariff

New U.S. tariff changes (as of 18 Feb 2025) now cover derivative products of steel and aluminum. India’s share in these categories remains significant.

India’s Share in the U.S. Import Basket (Avg 2019–2023):

Product CategoryIndia’s Share (%)
Aluminium Long Products5.6%
Fabricated Steel Structures5.3%
Steel Pipes, Tubes, & Fittings12.3%
Office Equipment & Fasteners6.8%

These tariffs increase cost pressure. Large firms must now ensure that MSME suppliers receive tech and cost support to remain competitive.
