3. Where Are We?
India has been recording sustained trade deficits since 1980 mainly due to the high growth of imports, particularly of
crude oil, gold and silver. In recent years, the biggest trade deficits were recorded with China, Saudi Arab, Iraq,
Switzerland and Kuwait. India records trade surpluses with US, Singapore, Germany, Netherlands and United
Kingdom. India is heavily dependent on crude oil imports, with petroleum crude accounting for about 34 percent of the
total inward shipments. The country also imports: gold and silver (12 percent of the total imports), machinery (10
percent), electronic goods (7 percent) and pearls, precious and semi-precious stones (5 percent). India’s main import
partners are China (10.7 percent of the total shipments), United Arab Emirates (8 percent), Saudi Arabia (7 percent),
