China emerges as India's surprise growth market, but trade deficit swells
India's exports to China jumped almost 40% in the five months to August, led by electronics and engineering goods. That's good news for Indian exporters and manufacturers selling into China. But the rise comes off a low base and has barely touched India's huge trade deficit with China. So keep an eye on your China-linked orders, and don't treat this as a lasting trend yet.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Indian exports to China rose almost 40% in the five months through August.
- Electronics and engineering goods were among the biggest drivers of that increase.
- The rise came off a relatively low base and did little to narrow India's trade imbalance with China.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If China is one of your markets, go through your current export orders and pricing with your accountant before planning fresh capacity around this growth.
