New Delhi, Oct. 26 -- India's exports to China surged about 22% in the first half of 2025-26 compared to the first half (H1) of FY25, driven by items like parts of telephone sets, shrimps, aluminium and capsicum, according to the government's data - a trend, that according to some experts, suggests that Indian exporters have successfully diversified some of their trade to different destinations in the aftermath of the US tariffs. Some Indian exports to the US, such as shrimps and aluminium, were hit hard after the US imposed a combined tariff of 50% on exports from India, but those items have seen significant demand in the China, according to the data.
