近年來，台灣和印度之間的雙邊貿易有所增長。本研究考察了印度-台灣的機床貿易。這項研究探討了在選擇國際貿易夥伴時涉及的動機因素，以及兩國企業所面臨的挑戰以及促進貿易的機會，這反過來將對雙方都有幫助。這項研究的目的是檢查和比較兩個經濟體之間以及兩個經濟體之間的特定行業國際貿易，並為台灣和印度未來的貿易和經濟合作得出啟示。這項研究調查了兩國之間雙邊貿易中商業的主要動機和挑戰，並探討了與兩國貿易強度，比較優勢有關的問題。我們在這裡的發現將幫助台灣企業，印度企業，國家政策制定者以及該行業的其他利益相關方，促進印度和台灣之間的機床貿易。

Bilateral trade between Taiwan and India has expanded in recent years. This study examines India-Taiwan trade in machine tools. This study explores the motivational factors involved while selecting an international trade partner along with challenges faced by the enterprises of both countries and the trade boosting opportunities which in turn will help both counterparts. The objective of this study is to examine and compare industry specific international trade in and between the two economies and to draw implications for trade and economic cooperation between Taiwan and India in the future. This study investigates the major motivations of businesses and challenges in the bilateral trade between the two countries, and explores issues associated with trade intensity, comparative advantages in the two countries. Our findings here will help Taiwanese enterprise, Indian enterprise, Policy makers of both the nations and other stakeholders in this Industry to boost trade of machine tools between India and Taiwan.
