A rising share means growth is increasingly tied to world demand. India's exports rose from 4.5% of GDP in 1960-61 to about a quarter in the early 2010s, and are 22% now.
It is gross, so a high share does not mean a trade surplus; compare with imports. Services exports (software, business services) are included.
