Trade deficit widens as exports fall and imports rise, driven by higher oil imports and mixed non oil trends. India's June 2013 and April-June 2013-14 trade data show exports declined in dollar terms while imports rose over the quarter, yielding a wider trade deficit. Oil imports increased for both the month and quarter, non-oil imports fell in June but rose cumulatively, and differing dollar versus rupee growth rates across categories affected provisional monthly and quarterly trade balances.
