China has emerged as a major destination for engineering exports, occupying its place among the top four ports of call for the Indian shipments , hugely steered by non-ferrous metals, an EEPC India data analysis for August shows.
In fact, China accounted for the maximum and whopping 266 per cent growth in India's engineering exports in August to $257 million against a meagre $70 million a year ago.
It has come to occupy the fourth largest destination for the engineering exports, thanks to a scorching pace of its imports of non-ferrous metals from India.
