India-Japan Trade Expected to Reach USD 50 Billion by 2030, Says ASSOCHAM
India's trade relations with Japan are expanding, with bilateral trade expected to reach USD 50 billion by 2030, up from USD 27.47 billion in 2025-26, according to ASSOCHAM. Growth is driven by increased high-level exchanges, investment commitments including Japan's JPY 10 trillion private investment pledge, and potential export diversification in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, machinery, electronics, and marine products. The trade balance currently favors Japan, highlighting opportunities for India to enhance its export share. An upgrade to the India-Japan Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement is also recommended.
