At present, India imports $17 billion worth of goods from Australia – India’s 17th largest trading partner - but here it is noteworthy that this import basket comprise mainly raw materials and intermediate goods (96%), primarily coal (96%) out of which 71.4% is coking coal. In contrast, we export finished products (consumer goods) to Australia. The ECTA agreement has proved to be a win-win situation, and with a wider trade pact not far off, it seems India-Australia trade will reach new heights in coming days.
