India's trade gap with China went past US$105.93 billion in the first nine months of 2026 (January-September), even though Indian shipments to China grew by 40.7%. Two-way trade expanded 25.4% to US$144.45 billion. Exports to China stood at US$19.26 billion, while imports climbed 23.3% to US$125.19 billion. Seafood, naphtha and printed circuit boards are among India's leading exports to China. Beijing's export curbs on items such as fertilisers and rare earths have added to India's worries.
