Abstract: By and large, India’s performance on the high-technology manufacturing trade front is not too impressive. India is a small player in most of the product categories barring pharmacy sector. In the last 10 years’ period of observation, India has not been able to increase her presence significantly in most of the segment. By contrast, China, starting from a similar base like India in some of the segments, has exhibited marked improvement. It should also be mentioned that unlike China, India has not been able to enter high-end segment of product in most of the categories. Of course, India’s performance would have been better if India would have concentrated on products which have low NTBs. China has done the same in some cases.
