Walmart plans to increase exports from India to $10 billion by 2027

Global retail major Walmart on Thursday said it will triple its exports of goods from India to $ 10 billion each year by 2027.

The expansion in sourcing will include helping develop new suppliers in categories such as food, pharmaceuticals, consumables, health and wellness, and general merchandise, along with apparel, homeware and other key Indian export categories, the company said in a statement.

The Bentonville-based firm said its new commitment to export “$ 10 billion of India-made goods each year by 2027” is expected to provide a significant boost to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in India, alongside ongoing efforts such as the Flipkart Samarth and Walmart Vriddhi supplier development programmes.
