India’s trade deficit with China crosses $100 billion in 2026

India's trade deficit with China has surpassed $100 billion in 2026. This significant increase in the trade gap is largely due to rising imports from China, which have seen a 23.3% rise to $125.19 billion. The surge in imports from China has contributed to a 25.4% growth in overall two-way trade between the countries, reaching $144.45 billion. This widening trade deficit is a concern for India's economy, as it may impact the country's ability to manage its foreign exchange reserves and maintain economic stability.
