Although, the structure of Indo-BRCS trade relation present a changing environ as with each economy the basket of tradable commodities varies like. Using revealed comparative analysis, statistical analysis, and historical analysis and based on the data of BRICS foreign trade, some problems, as well as the achievements of the BRICS in its foreign trade, have come into limelight.
