The UAE is fast-tracking a new oil pipeline to Fujairah, doubling export capacity to 3.6m barrels/day by 2027, securing exports against Strait of Hormuz disruption amid the Iran war, post-OPEC exit.
India is adopting a strategic approach to expand exports to China while strengthening domestic manufacturing, aiming to reduce dependence on Chinese inputs without a complete decoupling. A senior government official told PTI that India is building resilient supply chains and increasing export capacity, though the country still relies heavily on Chinese raw materials, intermediate goods and capital equipment. Trade data shows India's exports to China rose 37% to $19.47 billion in 2025-26, while imports increased 16% to $131.63 billion, widening the trade deficit to $112.6 billion.
