Abstract: This study presents India’s import and export patterns with its top ten trading partners. It aims to identify the variables that impact India’s trade ties and their implications for its economic growth. The paper examines trade data, market trends, and monetary policies. The study highlights the advantages and disadvantages of India’s international trade framework, focusing on key commodities, trade volumes, and bilateral trade agreements. The outcome shows how strategically significant these top trading partners have been in shaping India’s trade environment and provides insight into possible areas of policy action to improve trade performance. This study contributes to the understanding of India’s role in the global trade landscape and provides recommendations for fostering more substantial and equitable trade relationships.
