March 21 , 2026 12 hrs 0 min 28 0
  • India’s trade deficit with China crossed $100 billion for the first time, reaching about $102 billion in FY 2025–26 (April–February).
  • A trade deficit means imports are higher than exports in a given period of time.
  • India imports high-value goods like electronics, machinery, telecom equipment and APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) from China.
  • India’s exports to China mainly include petroleum products, copper items and some electronics, which are lower in value.
  • This creates economic risks like current account deficit and dependence on Chinese imports in key sectors.
  • It also highlights issues like limited market access and imbalance in trade between the two countries.
