India's imports of electronics, telecom, and electrical products surged to USD 89.8 billion in 2023-24, with over half of these imports coming from China and Hong Kong, according to the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI). China dominates with a 43.9% share, highlighting India's heavy reliance on these countries. GTRI emphasizes the need to reduce this dependency to enhance economic resilience and safeguard digital sovereignty. The report suggests strategic diversification of sources and boosting domestic production capabilities to achieve this goal.
