India’s Exports to China Surge 33%, Hitting $12.22 Billion in April-November

China is increasingly becoming an important export destination for India, with recent trade data pointing to a notable shift in the composition and scale of bilateral commerce. 

Export Growth and Historical Trend 

According to data from the commerce ministry, exports from India to China climbed to $12.22 billion during April–November of the current fiscal, representing a 33% increase.  

This compares with $9.2 billion in the same period of 2024–25, $10.28 billion in 2023–24 and $9.89 billion in 2022–23.  

The latest figure not only reverses the decline seen last year but also marks the highest export value recorded in the past 4 years, signalling a structural change in the trade relationship. 

Sector Wise Drivers of the Surge 

The growth has been supported by a wide range of products, including oil meals, marine products, telecom instruments and spices.  

Electronics exports showed a sharp rise, led by populated printed circuit boards, which increased from $23.9 million to $922.4 million, along with gains in flat panel display modules and other electrical apparatus used in telephony. 

Agriculture and marine shipments comprised items such as dried chilies, black tiger shrimp, green gram, Vannamei shrimp and oil-cake residues, while aluminium and refined copper billets also made a notable contribution.
