Explanation

India promotes exports primarily to reduce its trade deficit. A trade deficit occurs when a country's imports exceed its exports. By boosting exports, India can earn more foreign exchange, reduce the deficit, improve its balance of payments, and strengthen the economy. Export promotion also helps domestic industries grow and create jobs.
