With which country has India's trade deficit increased

Solution

India's trade deficit with China has increased during the fiscal year 2024-25, reflecting ongoing imbalances in bilateral trade relations. Despite efforts to reduce dependency on Chinese imports, India continues to import substantial quantities of electronics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial components from China, while exports to China remain comparatively limited. This widening deficit has economic and strategic implications, prompting policy discussions about strengthening domestic manufacturing capabilities and diversifying international trade partnerships.
