India’s trade with Pakistan continues to be export driven, with Indian exports touching over Rs 1,037 crore in the last six months while imports from Pakistan remained below Rs 1 crore, the Union Commerce and Industry Ministry informed the Lok Sabha, highlighting the near collapse of bilateral trade flows from the Pakistani side.
In a written reply to an unstarred question, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said that during the May to October 2025 period, India exported goods worth Rs 1,037.78 crore to Pakistan, while imports stood at just Rs 0.57 crore. This resulted in a trade balance of Rs 1,037.21 crore in India’s favour, underlining the sharp asymmetry that has defined bilateral trade in recent years.
Official data shows that pharmaceutical products dominate India’s exports to Pakistan. Drug formulations and biologicals alone accounted for Rs 673.84 crore, making up nearly two thirds of total exports during the six month period. Bulk drugs and drug intermediates followed at Rs 148.52 crore, indicating Pakistan’s continued dependence on India for critical healthcare supplies despite political tensions.
Other major export items included residual chemicals and allied products valued at Rs 93.07 crore, organic chemicals worth Rs 47.99 crore and petroleum products amounting to Rs 46.94 crore. Together, these five categories formed the bulk of India’s outbound trade to Pakistan.
In contrast, imports from Pakistan were limited to three product categories. Residual chemicals and allied products topped the list at Rs 0.30 crore, followed by plastic raw materials at Rs 0.16 crore and bulk drugs and drug intermediates at Rs 0.11 crore.
