Is there any equivalent of \today in org mode which auto updates whenever the document is exported and can be inserted anywhere in text?

Have a look at the time macro.

For example,

* Date test
This is the export time: {{{time(%Y-%m-%d)}}}.

Will produce the export date.

For the format of the time specification, check the documentation for format-time-string.

@Vaibhav I'm using orgmode 9.1, and I tested the example before posting. {{{date}}} is for the #+DATE property, {{{time}}} is for the export time.
