As part of the initiative to provide easy access to the public with regard to India’s export, import and balance of trade data, commerce and industry minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday launched a new enhanced Dashboard on foreign trade data.

The minister said this dashboard is an improved version of the earlier EXIM Analytics dashboard developed with many added features. It is more user friendly and would facilitate the general public to have an accurate picture on dynamics of foreign trade performance of India.

The new dashboard gives a graphical collection of exports, imports and balance of trade of India. General public can use it to know the export turnover of the country, how it performs over time and space, what are the export destinations, what items are being exported.

People can use it to know which are the ports - inland, sea or airports from which the exports are taking place.

The new interface is broadly divided into exports, imports and balance of trade views. Each of these views provide the user with features to inspect the trade that happens between India and a particular country, zoom into the activities of a particular port and reflect trade pattern over any months of the user’s choice. The import view gives a perspective of how India's imports have changed compared to the previous year.
