China has regained its position as India's top trading partner despite a decaying relationship between the Asian neighbours.
The two countries were involved in a bloody border conflict last year and saw India ban 220 Chinese tech apps.
Two-way trade between the long-standing economic and strategic Asian rivals stood at $77.7bn (£55.2bn) last year.
Although this figure was lower than the previous year's $85.5bn total, it was enough to make China India's largest commercial partner, according to provisional data from Delhi's commerce ministry.
Total imports from China stood at $58.7bn, which were more than India's combined purchases from the US and UAE - its second and third largest trade partners.
