India ka China par Bharosa Badhta Hi Jaa Raha Hai
China se India ka import $131 billion tak pahunch gaya hai FY26 mein. Ye hamare liye ek bada strategic risk hai, kyonki hum tech aur manufacturing mein aatmanirbhar banna chahte hain.
EV Batteries Ka Chakar
World mein EV batteries ka sabse bada player China hai, jisme CATL aur BYD kaafi dominate karte hain. India ki badi companies jaise Reliance aur Adani bhi CATL se baat kar rahe hain components ke liye. Lekin India mein battery banane ki capacity bahut kam hai. ACC PLI scheme bhi dheere chal rahi hai, jiske wajah se hum imports par nirbhar hain, chahe woh China se hi kyun na ho. 2025 mein sirf Lithium imports $1.2 billion ke the.
Solar Industry Bhi Under Control
China ka solar supply chain par lagbhag 80-85% control hai. Panels se lekar cells tak sab kuch wahi banate hain. 2023 mein China ne 98% solar wafers, 92% cells aur 85% panels banaye the. India bhi solar manufacturing badha raha hai, par cells ke liye abhi bhi China par nirbhar hai. June 2026 tak India mein local cells banne chahiye, par demand poori nahi ho pa rahi. Solar cells imports China se 47.17% badh gaye hain 2025 ke pehle 11 mahino mein, jo 49 GW se zyada hai.
Smartphone Components Ka Scene
Smartphones ke liye bhi India China par nirbhar hai. Apple jaise brands India mein assembly toh kar rahe hain, par phones ke main components abhi bhi China se hi aate hain. China duniya ke 60% smartphones supply karta hai. Chinese brands jaise Huawei bhi wahi strong hain.
Trade Imbalance Aur Competition
China ke saath trade imbalance badh gaya hai, FY20 mein $65 billion se FY26 mein $131 billion ho gaya hai. Sarkari policies is dependence ko kam karne mein fail ho rahi hain. China ke bade scale aur subsidies (solar manufacturers ko $50 billion se zyada) ki wajah se unka maal sasta hota hai, jisse India compete nahi kar pa raha. Anti-dumping duties ke bawajood, Chinese companies cells aur wafers export kar rahe hain.
National Security Ka Risk
Critical components ke liye China par itni nirbharta India ki security ke liye bhi khatarnak hai. Koi bhi geopolitical tension ya trade dispute hamare EV, solar aur smartphone industries ko rok sakta hai. China ki pricing power hamare domestic manufacturing ko bhi rok sakti hai.
Aage Kya?
India PLI schemes aur solar cell mandates se localization badhane ki koshish kar raha hai. Lekin China ka manufacturing scale, cost aur technology lead bahut bada challenge hai. Is dependence ko kam karne mein bahut time lagega, jiske liye strong industrial policy aur investment chahiye.
