India Import Data 2025: There has been a surge in India’s imports in the second quarter April-September of the financial year 2025-26. India has imported more goods worth $16.26 billion in this quarter as compared to last year. Last year, during this period, the country’s import was 358.85 billion dollars. Which will become 375.11 billion dollars in 2025. The pace of manufacturing in the country and domestic demand have helped to increase it.
Besides, the import of electronics and machinery has increased. India’s trade deficit with China has also increased due to this import. On the one hand, India is making new efforts to become self-reliant. On the other hand, increasing imports from China are not giving good signs for the country. Although China is one of the largest importing countries in the world, China also keeps opposing India on different platforms.
Big import of which things?
India has imported maximum electronics, machinery and silver products in this quarter. There has been a huge jump of 16.78 percent in electronics imports, while there has been a huge jump of 13.7 percent in machinery imports. The demand for silver is increasing rapidly all over the world. Due to the characteristics of silver, its demand is increasing in the industry. Silver is used in making electronics, solar panels and batteries. For this reason, the demand for silver is high in India also. A jump of 56 percent has been recorded in its imports. India has imported silver worth 3.2 billion dollars.
China becomes the largest exporter
India has imported the maximum from China in the first half of the financial year 2025-26. India imported goods worth about $62.89 billion from China. Talking about the data, there is a jump of 11.2 percent compared to last year. India imported goods worth $33.03 billion from UAE at second place. At the same time, Russia remains the third largest importing source of the country. However, a decline of 7.4 percent has been recorded in imports from Russia. India has ordered goods worth $31.12 billion from Russia.
increase in trade deficit
Due to China becoming the largest importer, the trade deficit between India and China increased and it reached the figure of 54.4 billion dollars. Last year, this figure during this period was 49.6 billion dollars. That means there is a huge difference between the goods and services exported from the country and the goods and services imported. Whenever a country’s exported goods are less than its imported goods, it is called trade deficit.
