According to official data, in the first four months of FY 2026 (April-July), India’s trade exports to China increased by 20% to $ 5.76 billion (about ₹ 50,112 crore). Inspired by the demand for energy, electronics and agricultural products, this strong growth, despite global challenges, reflects India’s growing trade competitiveness.

This increase in exports continued, and was performing better from the previous year each month. In May 2025, the highest export of $ 1.63 billion was more than $ 1.32 billion in 2024. Exports increased from $ 1.25 billion to $ 1.39 billion in April, increased by $ 17% to $ 1.38 billion in June and $ 1.35 billion in July to $ 1.35 billion. This steady growth indicates the gradual renovation of trade between the two countries, although India’s trade deficit with China, which was $ 99.2 billion in FY 2025, remains a matter of concern.

Major areas operating this growth include petroleum products, which almost doubled to $ 883 million, and electronic goods, which increased three times to $ 521 million. Export of biological and inorganic chemicals rose 16.3% to $ 335.1 million, while shipments of gems and jewelery increased by 72.7%. Meanwhile, India’s imports from China, including pharmaceuticals, semiconductor and machinery, dominated bilateral trade.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and India Foreign Minister S.K. The recent bilateral talks between Jaishankar in New Delhi were described as “positive, creative and visionary”, which increased optimism for strong economic relations.

This boom in exports underlines India’s growing role in global trade and its ability to navigate complex market dynamics, which creates a promising atmosphere for FY 2026. As India is strengthening its trade performance, focusing on reducing trade deficit and increasing export diversity.
