The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has launched the Survey on Computer Software and Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) Exports for the 2025-26 period, according to rbi.org.in. This initiative aims to collect comprehensive data on software and ITES exports to better understand trends and performance in these sectors.
The survey process involves gathering detailed information from companies engaged in software and ITES exports. The RBI will collect data on export volumes, revenue, and other relevant metrics to assess the sector’s contribution to the economy. This exercise is part of the RBI’s broader efforts to monitor and analyze foreign exchange inflows related to technology services.
This survey is significant as it provides updated insights into the IT and software export landscape, which is a critical component of India’s economy. The data collected will help policymakers and stakeholders evaluate the sector’s growth, identify challenges, and formulate strategies to enhance export performance. The RBI’s focus on ITES exports underscores the sector’s role in driving foreign exchange earnings and employment.
Following this launch, the RBI will analyze the survey responses and publish findings that could influence future policy decisions. Stakeholders in the IT and software export industries are expected to participate actively. The RBI may also use the data to refine its foreign exchange management and support mechanisms for exporters in the technology domain, with results anticipated later in the fiscal year.
