Malaysia is the third largest trading partner for India within ASEAN, and India is the largest trading partner for Malaysia from among the countries of the South, excluding China. With the coming- into -force of the India-Malaysia Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) from 1 July 2011 the bilateral economic engagement is expected to get a further fillip. The Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) is a single undertaking covering goods, services, investment and other areas of cooperation.

Bilateral trade increased by 17 times from US $0.6 billion in 1992 to US$ 10.3 billion in 2008, before it declined to US $ 7.3 billion in 2009 during the global financial crisis, and re-bounded to US$ 9 billion in 2010. In calendar year 2011 bilateral trade showed robust growth of 32.7% year-on-year to reach a historical high of US$ 12.536 billion (as compared to US$ 9 billion for the same period last year). In calendar year 2012, the bilateral trade stood at US$ 13.32 billion. This is an increase of 5.5% in two-way trade as compared to the figures for the year 2011. As per Indian statistics, the corresponding figures of bilateral trade in Jan-Dec 2012 were US $ 14.62 billion (Source: Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, India). Trade still remains significantly imbalanced in favour of Malaysia (our exports were only US$ 3.823 billion in 2012 of a total two way trade of US$13.32 billion), and Government of India has drawn the attention of the Malaysian Government on the importance of more balanced trade. The bilateral trade figures for the period January–May 2013 stood at US$ 5.988 billion (US$3.452 billion for Malaysian exports and US$ 2.536 billion for Indian exports), registering an increase of 14.73% over the corresponding period of January-May 2012 which was US$ 5.228 billion.

  • The MICHELIN Pilot Sport EV Rises Successfully to Malaysian Humidity
    MEDIA INFORMATION Putrajaya, November 7, 2015 2015/2016 FIA FORMULA E CHAMPIONSHIP Putrajaya ePrix (Round 2) The MICHELIN Pilot Sport EV rises successfully to Malaysian humidity The MICHELIN Pilot Sport EV overcame difficult weather conditions to deliver consistent, competitive performance and grip throughout the day in Putrajaya, Malaysia, despite temperatures in excess of 30°C, a track temperature of almost 50°C and humidity levels of between 60 and 90 percent. Round 2 of the 2015/2016 Formula E ePrix featured the same format as 2014, with a 12-turn, 2.5km track and the start brought forward by two hours to 2:04pm local time in order to minimise the threat of wet weather. Indeed, torrential rain swept over the city an hour after the chequered flag was shown. The hot, damp conditions made the day hard not only for the drivers, but also for the battery of their all-electric single-seater racing cars. However, the teams knew they could count on their Michelin tyres which effectively proved a match for the challenge Excellence and versatility While all the teams are using the same chassis as least season, the latest technical regulations of the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile) now allow them to run their own motor, transmission and electronic management system. The rear suspension may also be modified, but the rest of the specification – including the battery – is identical to last season. Meanwhile, the FIA has authorised a power increase from 150kW to 170kW for the races, and from 170kW to 200kW in qualifying, and that has resulted in an improvement of around two seconds per lap at circuits like Putrajaya.
