Significant Growth in Bilateral Trade

New Delhi, March 25: The trade volume between India and Taiwan saw a remarkable increase of 17% in 2025, reaching a total of $12.5 billion, as reported by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center (TECC).

India's exports to Taiwan were valued at $3.3 billion, primarily consisting of mineral fuels, aluminium, iron, steel, organic chemicals, and plastics. Conversely, Taiwan's exports to India amounted to $9.2 billion, mainly including electronic integrated circuits, plastics, organic chemicals, electrical machinery, and iron and steel.

During the launch of the 'Taiwan Excellence' expo, Estela Chen, Director of the Economic Division at TECC, highlighted Taiwan's prominent position in sectors such as semiconductors, AI servers, AIoT solutions, and edge computing, as reported by Asian Community News.

Last year marked a peak in trade relations between Taiwan and India, with the bilateral trade reaching an all-time high of $12.5 billion. This expanding economic partnership is fostering increased investment and collaboration between the two nations.

Taiwanese companies are actively investing in India's electronics manufacturing, semiconductor, and automotive industries, while Indian firms are exploring significant opportunities in Taiwan's IT and engineering sectors, Chen noted.

She emphasized Taiwan's commitment to being a reliable partner in India's key initiatives like Digital India and the India AI Mission. "From smartphone and IoT production to advanced high-tech product design, Taiwan is dedicated to aiding India's digital evolution,” she stated.

Currently, over 300 Taiwanese firms are operating in India.

However, when compared to Taiwan's trade with other nations such as the USA ($246.43 billion), Mainland China ($100.1 billion), South Korea ($90.2 billion), and Japan ($84.85 billion), there remains significant potential for growth in trade with India.

The International Trade Administration of Taiwan has indicated that both countries are actively engaged in discussions to enhance mutually beneficial trade measures.
