Trade and economic relations between India and China has seen rapid progress in the last few years. Bilateral trade which was as low as USD 2.92 billion in 2000-01 reached USD 87.06 billion by 2018-19. In the last financial year i.e. 2018-19, India’s export to China touched USD 16.75 billion showing a growth of 25.62% where as China’s export to India were USD 70.31 billion with balance of trade highly in favor of China. Better market accesses have been provided to many Indian exports recently.
Over the last two decades, India-China trade has changed drastically. With the rapidly changing trade dynamics and the rising protectionism, China closer to home, has proved to be one of the major destinations for Indian exports under the current global trade scenario and an obvious immediate alternate to India’s traditional markets USA & Europe.
