He also claimed that 66 per cent of India’s EV component imports came from China, while a large majority of lithium-ion batteries used in Indian electric vehicles were sourced from the country.
The Congress chief further alleged that India imported nearly 93 per cent of its permanent magnets from China in 2025-26, and said the country supplied more than 99 per cent of India’s undiffused silicon wafer imports — a key input for solar cells.
Targeting the government over recent policy decisions, Kharge alleged that it had eased restrictions to allow four Chinese companies to bid for public power projects in India. He also referred to continuing tensions along the Line of Actual Control and accused China of persisting with encroachments in Arunachal Pradesh and Ladakh.
Kharge further claimed that China’s role in Pakistan’s actions during Operation Sindoor had been acknowledged by the Deputy Chief of Army Staff and was part of the official record.
“The Modi government has hurt India’s national interests by letting Beijing capture India’s most critical industries since Galwan,” Kharge said, attacking the government’s handling of trade and strategic policy.
There was no immediate response from the central government or the Bharatiya Janata Party to the Congress leader’s allegations.
