What Australia imports from India
Australia's industrial sectors source large volumes of cable management, earthing, steel structures and busbars from India each year. The drivers below explain why.
Australia is the #3 global importer of cable trays from India. 260 shipments, approximately 15% of global cable tray exports from India (Volza customs data). The dominant buying sector is resources: Western Australian mining projects (BHP, Rio Tinto, Fortescue at the Pilbara iron ore sites and Browse LNG basin) require HDG ladder cable trays to AS/NZS standards, electroforged grating panels to AS 1657, and earthing systems to AS 3000 across large open-cut mine sites. The Queensland LNG sector (Curtis Island, Gladstone) drives structural steel and pipe support imports. Australia imposes ZERO import duty on cable trays (HS 7308.90) and gratings (HS 7308.90.10) under the MFN tariff schedule, no FTA required. The primary compliance standard is AS/NZS 3000 (Wiring Rules) for earthing, AS 1657 for gratings, and ASTM A123 (accepted by most Australian mining specifications) for HDG coating thickness. Inspection documents (EN 10204 Type 3.1 MTC, coating-thickness test report) are mandatory for most mining contractor approvals.
Products Australia buys from India in mass
These are the categories Australia's utilities, EPCs, refineries and contractors procure from Indian manufacturers in container-scale volumes. Vajra International is a direct manufacturer of all of them. MTC, COO, inspection reports and export packing included as standard.
