Government's response
The Commerce and Industry Minister said exports touched a record US$863 billion in FY2025-26 and that India remains on track for the US$2 trillion target by 2030.
Analysis
Goyal set the target on 31 March 2023 while unveiling the Foreign Trade Policy 2023, when total exports were about US$765 billion.
Government and Commerce Ministry communications in 2026 cite total exports of about US$863 billion in FY2025-26 and state that the US$2 trillion target for 2030-31 remains on track.
The target is a projection rather than a recorded outcome. With the deadline in 2030-31 it is not yet due, so it is recorded as in progress. Export outcomes depend on global demand, exchange rates and trade agreements.

Notes
Quote wording is from The Economic Times report of the speech; no official transcript was opened, so quote_is_verbatim=false. Target year is described as '2030' in the 2023 statement and as '2030-31' in later ministry communications; the later framing is used for the deadline. Exact publication dates of the 2026 evidence items could not be confirmed, so their date fields are blank.
