Taliban has taken over Afghanistan. This will have a direct impact on the trade between India and Afghanistan. The main reason for this is that the Indian government does not recognize the Taliban.

India has invested about $3 billion (Rs 22,251 crore) in Afghanistan.

There is little hope of trade with Afghanistan: Ajay Bagga
Ajay Bagga, knowing about foreign affairs, said that during the era of the Taliban, the relationship will not be the same. India's trade with Afghanistan was one-way. India developed in Afghanistan, but now Afghanistan has gone to China's axis. Due to which there is little hope of trade with Afghanistan now. Trade with Afghanistan is almost over. India also imports dry fruits from California, but this year also there are some problems due to which the prices of dry fruits will increase further.
India's global business will be affected
India has invested about 22 thousand 251 crore rupees in Afghanistan in the last 20 years. India's strategy behind this was that Chabahar Port in Iran would be connected to Afghanistan through road. Road project work is also going on from Chabahar port in Iran to Delaram in Afghanistan. This will facilitate India's access to Central Europe via Afghanistan.
Through this route, India will also be able to do business with Central Europe, but now this plan seems to be going downhill. During the last two decades, India has done a lot for the development of Afghanistan. India has built a 218 km long road between Delaram and Zaranj Salma Dam here. Apart from this, the Parliament of Afghanistan has also been built by India.
How is the import done?
Afghanistan is surrounded by land on all sides. That is, it has no maritime boundary. It exports to India through the Wagah border via Pakistan. Along with this, now it has also started exporting through the Chabahar port of Iran. India is also supplied especially dry fruits by air. Dried fruits account for a significant share of India's exports from Afghanistan.
