SEZ export growth shows slowing annual expansion but strong recent quarterly rebound in contribution to trade. SEZ exports rose in nominal terms across the reported years, with the latest full-year comparison showing a markedly lower annual growth rate despite higher absolute export values; the first quarter of the subsequent year registered a strong quarter-on-quarter increase. The release provides annual and quarterly export figures and percentage growths, based on a written parliamentary reply by the Minister of State for Commerce and Industry, and underscores a deceleration in year-on-year growth rates even as total SEZ export values expanded.
