NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India is likely to miss its export target of $200 billion in the year to March 2010 due to a weak global economy, the junior trade minister told parliament on Wednesday.

"On account of continuing global financial crisis and economic slowdown of developed economies, the target of $200 billion is unlikely to be achieved," Jyotiraditya Scindia said in a written reply to a question.

India's exports were at $169 billion in the 2008/09 fiscal year.
