ABSTRACT: Massive growth in Industrialization and Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) and a stronger relation between India and China have led to an increase in bilateral trade between the
two countries. This paper examines the intensity of Intra-Industry Trade (IIT)
between India and China using A-Index over a two-decade period (1999 to 2018).
Further, the study examines trade patterns of commodities traded between the
countries and how have they changed over the years. The study used data of 99
commodities and conducts a decade wise comparison. Recent developments and
policy changes on the bilateral trade front between India and China have also
been discussed. The research has important implications for policymakers,
economists and business involved internal trade.
