Crisil Puts India Import Dependence at 35.4% in Mining, 13.8% in Manufacturing

Summary

  • 35.4% import dependence in mining and 13.8% in manufacturing show India still relies materially on overseas supplies in critical sectors, according to Crisil’s latest analysis.
  • Crisil’s focus is less on headline import volumes than on whether India remains exposed in products too important to be disrupted during global supply shocks.
  • That leaves India’s self-reliance push facing a sector split: domestic capacity has expanded, but resilience still depends on cutting dependence in vulnerable supply chains.
