India’s imports in September 2026 increased to $74.61 billion, up from $70.67 billion in August 2026, according to data updated on 15 October 2026. The month-on-month rise highlights a continued expansion in the country’s external demand in U.S. dollar terms.
The $3.94 billion increase between August and September underscores a strengthening import trend as the third quarter of 2026 closed. While the underlying drivers of the rise were not detailed in the latest release, the higher import bill may reflect firm domestic demand, ongoing investment activity, or elevated prices for key imported goods.
