India’s seafood exports have reached an all-time high of ₹72,000 crore in FY 2025–26, underscoring robust global demand and the growing strength of the country’s marine sector.
According to the Marine Products Export Development Authority, the surge was driven primarily by strong shipments of shrimp, which continued to dominate India’s seafood export basket. The United States, China, and the European Union remained the top destinations for Indian marine products.
The milestone reflects improved aquaculture practices, enhanced quality standards, and expanded market access, positioning India as a key player in the global seafood trade.
Officials noted that the record performance is expected to boost incomes of coastal communities and strengthen the fisheries sector, while also contributing significantly to the country’s export earnings.
