China Supplies Over 80% of India's Electronics Imports in 71 Product Categories
A joint study by Koan Advisory Group and the Institute of Chinese Studies reveals that China supplied over 80% of India's imports in 71 electronics product categories in 2025-26, up from 44 in 2018-19. The dependence is mainly on core components like motors, cables, batteries, and switching equipment used in telecom, consumer electronics, and industrial machinery. The report highlights a growing concentration of imports from China, contributing significantly to India's trade deficit in electrical machinery.
