China was the largest trading partner of India in external trade for the year 2015-2016.
Based on official trade data from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, for the fiscal year 2015-2016, China was India’s largest trading partner in terms of total trade turnover (exports + imports). The trade value with China significantly exceeded that with the United States, United Arab Emirates, or the United Kingdom in that period.
India’s major trading partners can fluctuate over time based on geopolitical and economic factors. While the US is often a major destination for Indian exports, the volume of imports from China typically makes it the largest overall trading partner in many recent years, including 2015-2016.
