India Pursues Diversified Strategy to Boost Exports and Reduce Import Dependence on China

India is implementing a diversified strategy to boost exports to China by strengthening domestic manufacturing capacities and reducing import dependence through supplier diversification. While complete decoupling from China is challenging due to reliance on Chinese raw materials and components, India aims to build resilient supply chains and increase export capacity. In 2025-26, India's exports to China rose 37% to $19.47 billion, while imports grew 16% to $131.63 billion, widening the trade deficit to $112.6 billion.
