NARMADA COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT
(APPROVED BY AICTE AND AFFILIATED TO GTU)
OFFERS CERTIFICATE PROGRAMME IN
EXIM PROCEDURES & DOCUMENTATION (THREE MONTHS)
India's total exports (merchandise and services combined) reached a record high of US$863.1 billion in the fiscal year 2025–26. Services exports continued as a key growth driver, scaling a historic US$421.3 billion, while merchandise exports crossed US$441.8 billion. Overall exports of goods and services account for approximately 23% of India's GDP. Over the past two decades, India’s foreign trade has expanded multi fold, driven by key trade agreements and shifting product and geographic markets.
Understanding the evolving nature of India’s foreign trade enables entrepreneurs to tap into global demand and build resilient international supply chains. Both emerging startups and established companies actively seek professionals who understand foreign trade policies, customs clearance, and global payment channels. To bridge this skill gap, we offer a Three-Month Certificate Programme on Export-Import Procedures and Documentation.
