an analysis for india and china - icrier

suggestive of increasing competition and those with maximum difference are taken as
making maximum contribution to a complementary relationship.
A Disaggregated Analysisof Sectors where India and China Compete in the Global
Market
Organic Chemicals (SITC-51): Analysis at the commodity level reveals that
sulphonamides in bulk, melamine , acyclic polycarboxylic acids and their derivatives,
nes, unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids and their derivatives, nes, gluconic acid,
its salts and esters, diphenylamine and its derivatives; salts thereof, and Compounds with
other nitrogen function, nes and phenazone (antipyrin) and its derivatives contribute to
the competitive relationship between India and China in this sector in 2000. In 2003, both
countries compete in commodities such as malonylurea (barbituric acid) and its
derivatives; salts thereof, Compounds with other nitrogen function, nes, xylenols and
their salts, derivs of phenols or phenol-alcohols, nes, cresols and their salts, acyclic
polycarboxylic acids and their derivatives, nes, acetic acid salts nes, acyclic monoamines
nes, and their derivatives; salts thereof. Except acyclic polycarboxylic acids and their
derivatives, nes the items contributing to competition between India and China in this
sector in the two years.
Inorganic Chemicals (SITC-52): At commodity level, India and China compete
in potassium silicates, sulphides of metals nes; polysulphides of metals, aluminium
sulphate, nitrites of metals, bromides and bromide oxides of metals nes, sulphates of
metal nes, Complex cyanides of metals in 2000 and thiosulphates of metals, phosphates
of metals nes, potassium permanganate, aluminum fluoride, sodium sulphites,
fluorosilicates of sodium or of potassium, disodium carbonate, inorganic acids nes, and
zinc chloride in 2003. It is observed that the set of commodities in which both the
countries are similarily advantageously placed in the world market are different for both
the years.
