INDIA-CHINA TRADE

Oct. 6, 2018

Union Minister of Commerce released a study by the Department of Commerce on India-China Trade.

Report Summary:

  • The report has tried to analyse the magnitude, extent and plausible reasons of India's rising trade deficit with China, which stood at about USD 63 billion in 2017-18.

  • This analysis helps in studying whether an FTA or tariff concessions by China to India can be beneficial in increasing India's exports to China.

  • Most of the industry associations want the government to pursue a defensive approach and raise customs duties while negotiating free trade agreements (FTAs).

  • There are opportunities arising for India out of US - China trade standoff. There is potential for India to fill in the gaps left by America in the Chinese market.
