Effects of Chinese Imports:

1. If imports fall, the prices of many imported commodities may rise, potentially leading to higher inflation in the country.

2. If raw material supplies are disturbed, local manufacturing of various commodities may suffer greatly.

3. Pharma and electronics are the most susceptible industries, with massive output drops possible owing to a drop in the availability of materials required in their manufacture.

Effect of India’s Export

1. Many items’ prices may rise when exports fall.

2. Total output might decline if major input supplies are interrupted.

3. Pharmaceutical and electronic items are anticipated to be the most affected, as India buys numerous intermediate types of equipment from China and exports it once it has manufactured final products.
