India has maintained a consistent trade surplus with Israel since 2010, reflecting the strength of bilateral trade ties. According to recent trade data, India’s exports to Israel increased from $211 million in 1996 to $2.2 billion in 2025, while imports rose from $260 million to $1.2 billion over the same period.

Over the past three decades, India recorded a trade deficit with Israel in only five years. Petroleum and bituminous oils accounted for 39% of India’s exports to Israel between 2018 and September 2026, while non-industrial diamonds represented 27% of India’s imports from the country.

Despite this growth, trade with Israel accounts for less than 1% of India’s overall global exports and imports. Tourism trends have also shown contrasting patterns, with Israeli tourist arrivals in India increasing while the number of Indians travelling to Israel has declined.
