New Delhi, June 1: India’s seafood exports have reached a new milestone, touching a record value of ₹73,890 crore, driven by strong international demand and improved export performance across key markets.
The surge reflects India’s expanding presence in global seafood trade, supported by a diverse export basket that includes frozen shrimp, fish, and other marine products. Growth has been particularly strong in shipments to major importing regions, where demand for high-quality seafood continues to rise.
Industry observers note that improved supply chain efficiency, better cold storage infrastructure, and adherence to global quality standards have played an important role in boosting export competitiveness. Exporters have also benefited from growing demand in developed markets as well as emerging economies.
Stakeholders in the seafood industry said the record performance highlights the resilience of India’s marine export sector despite global trade uncertainties and fluctuating freight conditions.
Experts believe that continued focus on value-added seafood products, sustainability practices, and export diversification could further strengthen India’s position in the global seafood market in the coming years.
The achievement is seen as a positive indicator for coastal economies, where seafood exports contribute significantly to employment and livelihoods.
