This reflects a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 20% between 2020 and 2024.

However, the sharp rise in trade has also resulted in a widening imbalance. While India's imports from BRICS countries touched US$ 304 billion, its exports stood at a relatively modest US$ 95 billion, leaving a trade deficit of US$ 209 billion.
