INDIA’S INTERNATIONAL TRADE: TREND, COMPOSITION AND DIRECTION INTRODUCTION International trade is exchange of capital, goods, and services across international borders or territories. India’s major imports comprise of crude oil machinery, military products, fertilizers, chemicals, gems, antiques and artworks. Indian exports comprise mainly of engineering and textile products, precious stones, petroleum products, jewellery, sugar, steel chemicals, zinc and leather products. TRENDS
India approached economic development through the use of import substitution industrialization, which is an inward-looking development strategy that imposes import quotas and tariffs with the purpose of protecting infant domestic industries. However, such an economic policy would negatively impact domestic consumers, forcing them to pay higher prices than the cheaper imports they would have been able to purchase if not for the trade protections. Furthermore, trade protections would lead to a distortion of comparative advantage, which would mean that firms would engage in inefficient production, wasting
