Analysing India’s trade bottlenecks

The article analyzes India's trade bottlenecks, particularly with the U.S. and China. It highlights challenges in India-U.S. trade due to issues like alleged 'forced labor' and tariffs on Russian crude, while trade with China has boomed despite a lack of a formal deal, leading to a significant trade deficit for India. The author emphasizes China's success stemming from high savings, massive investment in technology, and R&D, which has fueled its global competitiveness. The article argues that India needs to develop its own technology and R&D to overcome trade deficits and non-tariff barriers imposed by advanced economies, rather than solely relying on trade agreements.
