India used to be a country that was restricted by socialism inspired economics. Although it did not officially become a socialist country, it followed the Socialist model for a long time post its independence in 1947. This led to widespread corruption and the economy suffered a lot. In 1991, the economy was finally changed to a market-based model and the Indian market was thrown open to foreign investors. Thus, ever since 1991 India has been seeing a tremendous growth in the all the sectors. Importing goods to India is a very lucrative business. Since India is considered to be one of the fastest developing Asian countries, it is understandable that the country will have a good appetite for imported items. There are great demands in a lot of different areas for imported items. These demands start from the lower income groups and go up to the higher income groups. The lower income groups mainly crave cheap imported electronic items that are considerably cheaper than branded alternatives. Although there is a thriving industry in India that makes such items, other Asian countries are better equipped to mass-produce such cheap goods. This is especially true for China. The upper classes look for a different kind of import. They are the moneyed classes who have a global level of awareness. Hence they want items that are used all over the world and in well-developed nations. These demands thus include high-end electronic items, home appliances, apparel and food items. Other than these consumer oriented imports, India also imports a lot food for mass consumption when its own production falls short. India also imports a large quantity of crude oil every year. If you are in the business of dealing with infrastructure related items, you will find that India has a large range of imports in this category. Exporting items from India is as profitable as importing things to India. You can easily import the traditional art and crafts of the country, of which you will find great variety and number. These items are in great demand in the western countries and good quality products sell for really high prices. You can also export natural products like silk, flax seeds and jute fiber. These are products that are already exported by India in large quantities. India is a large exporter of aluminum and aluminum ore. Since aluminum takes a lot of electricity to extract, India mainly exports the ore to other countries where power is cheaper. Power is not abundant in India and there is a definite deficit in that area. As mentioned earlier, India is a large exporter of handicraft and some clothing items also fall within this category. India is known for providing some of the best embroidery works in the world. Indian embroidery has various styles that are unique to the country and cannot be found anywhere else. That is why they are prized highly by fashion designers all over the world. There are also other traditional textiles and clothing that India exports in large quantities.
