India's merchandise exports to China have surged by 20% in the first four months of 2025-26, reaching $5.76 billion. This growth, driven by energy, electronics, and agricultural products, is a hopeful contrast to the previous year’s declines. With a steady rise observed monthly, experts suggest that this trend could help mitigate the trade deficit with China, which stood at $99.2 billion last year. Recent diplomatic engagements further indicate a commitment to enhance bilateral trade, boosting prospects for Indian goods in the Chinese market.
