What the figures measure

These are annual survey estimates of exports by Indian companies. Sales delivered through overseas commercial presence are excluded.
Rupee and dollar amounts are both reported by the source. Historical rupee values have not been converted using today’s exchange rate.
Financial years run from April to March. Export revenue is not company profit or the entire domestic technology industry’s revenue.
