The rise in exports was primarily driven by increased shipments of motor spirit, petcoke, and fuel oil.

Even as the volumes registered an increase, in value terms, the exports declined by almost 7% to $44.3 billion during the fiscal compared with $47.7 billion in the year ago. The dip in export value was due to subdued prices in the current year compared to the year ago period.
