NITI Aayog launches sixth edition of “Trade Watch Quarterly”

• Trade Watch Quarterly (TWQ) is NITI Aayog's flagship quarterly publication offering a data-driven snapshot of India's external sector and global trade flows.
• The sixth edition (released 13 Feb 2026) covers Q2 FY 2025-26 (Jul-Sept 2025) and carries a thematic deep-dive on India's electronics trade.
• Important for UPSC because it links GS-III (External Sector, Industrial Policy, PLI) with current macro-trends — services-led exports, "China+1", and India's place in Global Value Chains (GVCs).
