New Delhi: India's goods exports to China in the first four months of FY26 rose 20% year on year at $5.76 billion, or about ₹50,112 crore, with each month recording higher shipment than a year earlier, official data showed.
India posted the highest exports at $1.63 billion in May, up from $1.32 billion in the corresponding month in 2024.
"The consistent month-on-month edge over last year highlights India's improved trade performance with China and India's growing export competitiveness even as fluctuations reflect global trade conditions and seasonal variations in demand," an official said.
The trend reinforces the sustained growth trajectory of India's exports to China despite global trade uncertainties, the person added.
Exports in April rose to $1.39 billion from $1.25 billion a year earlier, while in June, they were 17% higher on year at $1.38 billion. In July, India shipped $1.35 billion worth of goods to China, against $1.06 billion in July 2024.
The steady growth in exports also signals a gradual rebalancing of trade between the two Asian economies, where India has traditionally faced a large trade deficit. India's trade deficit with China was $99.2 billion in FY25.
As per the data, India's export growth to China in April-June 2025 was powered by a strong performance across energy, electronics, and agri-based products.
Petroleum products exports nearly doubled to $883 million while electronic goods surged more than threefold to $521 million, reflecting strong demand from China's industrial and consumer segments.
Organic and inorganic chemicals exports rose 16.3% at $335.1 million while a 72.7% rise was seen in gems and jewellery exports.
New Delhi's top imports from Beijing are pharmaceuticals, electronics and semiconductors, machinery, industrial goods, chemicals and plastics.
