India's trade deficit in November narrowed to $20.6 billion as goods exports and imports fell. Goods exports declined due to a shrinkage in key product categories, including engineering goods, petroleum products, and garments. The fall in imports was driven by oil and coal.

Services exports increased, resulting in a trade surplus and helping narrow the overall trade deficit. However, exports remain weak due to sluggish global demand.
