abstract
This study examines India’s trade dynamics and dependencies with China, the United States, and Russia, highlighting patterns, imbalances, and strategic vulnerabilities. It analyzes trade volumes, sectoral composition, and deficits to identify structural risks arising from concentrated imports and over-reliance on specific markets. The research explores geopolitical and policy implications, assessing India’s leverage and negotiation power with major partners. Export performance, diversification efforts, and the role of critical sectors such as energy and technology are evaluated to enhance economic resilience. Policy recommendations are offered to strengthen supply chains, mitigate trade risks, and reduce strategic dependencies, fostering sustainable and balanced international trade.
