Precision Tools: Medical apparatus, optical and measuring instruments, and nuclear/boiler machinery trade regularly in both directions.
4. Agriculture, Fertilizers & Water Technology
Chemicals & Potash: Israel is a major source of fertilizers (such as potash) and industrial chemical compounds for India's agricultural sector.
Tech Cooperation: Israeli drip-irrigation, water recycling, and precision farming technologies play a central role in bilateral agricultural work plans.
5. Chemicals, Plastics & Pharmaceuticals
Intermediates: Trade includes organic and inorganic chemicals, industrial solvents, and bulk raw materials for pharmaceuticals.
