Israel imports from India weremainly Chemical Products (approximately 29%of total imports), Textile Products (about 18% from the total imports), Plastics and Rubber (about 12% from the total import) and Electric Equipment and Machinery (about 11% of total imports). The decrease in the volume of imports in 2016 was mainly influenced by the decrease in imports of chemicals (a decrease of 23% to approximately US$ 235 million) and in imports of Machinery and Electrical Equipment (decreased by approximately 40% to US$ 88 million). On the other hand, increases in imports of Textiles (rise of 18% to US$ 141 million) and Plastics and Rubber Products (increased by approximately 43% to US$ 95 million) contributed to offset the overall decrease in imports in 2016.
