Abstract: Abstract The study attempts to determine the challenges arising in trade between India and ASEAN, and various factors that contribute to trade costs. The Novy approach to the gravity model of trade has been employed to understand the possible sources of trade costs. The findings show that trade volumes between India and its ASEAN trading partners have increased over the years, as well as the trade gap. The econometric results show that among the variables considered, shipping connectivity and distance are the major factors contributing to trade costs.
