Both of these situations are likely to increase the manufacturing costs of Chinese enterprises. Companies that used to buy from China are now looking for alternative sources of supply, such as India, “said dibesh Mehta, an analyst at sbicap securities.

The decline in supply from China provides a huge opportunity for Indian enterprises to increase their supply to the world market and open up new markets for sustained exports. ” Punit makharia, chairman and managing director of shree Pushkar chemical and fertilizer Co., Ltd.
