From the President of America to his trade gurus, anything against India said, why should America not put 50 percent tariff against India. No matter how sweet India should make its relationship with China. Despite all these things, America is the most important country for India than China. There is also the reason for this. Even after imposing 50 percent of the tariff, India’s highest trade was not with China, Russia or Europe but with America in the month of August. That too when India’s export in July has been seen in the US about 14 percent less. At the same time, exports were seen by more than 7 percent in the match against the same period last year. The special thing is that China’s situation in terms of trade with India has been seen less than UAE and Netherlands. Let us also tell you what kind of figures have been introduced by the Government of India.
India exports to America in August
India’s exports to the US declined by about 14 per cent to $ 6.86 billion on a monthly basis after the US administration imposed a 50 per cent fee on Indian products in August. According to the trade data of August, 2025 released by the Ministry of Commerce on Monday, Indian exports to the US decreased by about 14 percent as compared to July. In July, India exported $ eight billion to the US. Despite the reduced exports on monthly basis, the US remained the largest export destination of India on an annual basis. Compared to August 2024, this time exports to the US recorded an increase of 7.15 percent.
America is also important than China
As I said that America is more important for India than China. This thing is not being said just like this. Government figures are testifying this. In terms of export destination for India, China is not at number two or third but fourth. In the month of August, India exported $ 1.21 billion to China. Which is nothing in front of America. Rather UAE exported $ 3.24 billion in August and $ 1.83 billion to Netherlands. Britain is the number after China. Which India has exported $ 1.14 billion goods. US President Donald Trump’s administration had increased the fee in two phases on Indian products. Earlier, 25 percent fee was levied from August 7 and then from August 27, 25 percent additional fee was imposed.
Fat loss from China
On the contrary, India’s dependency on China is clearly seen on the import front. In the month of August, even though India has exported goods worth more than one billion dollars to China, it was seen to be worth $ 10.9 billion. This means that India suffered the most loss in terms of trade. Which is $ 9.69 billion. At the same time, India has bought $ 4.83 billion goods from Russia. At the same time, India’s trade deficit with UAE is being seen more than one billion dollars. In August, India imported $ 4.66 billion goods from UAE. Whereas India has benefited from America about $ 4 billion. Because India has reduced imports from America in the export match. In August, India was imported from US to $ 3.6 billion. India’s import from Saudi Arabia was $ 2.52 billion.
