The ceasefire between India and Pakistan has definitely been done, but for just a few days, Turkey has been in the news between India-Pakistan Tension and his pak love came out in the news. The drones which were killed through the Indian air defense system during the attack on India were also made of Turkish Drone. Now after the ceasefire, protest has started in India against this friend of Pakistan and the Boycott Turkey campaign has started gaining momentum. This is going to affect its billions of dollars business. Let us know how big it has its business in India and how will Indian opposition will prove to be its back breaking?
Bycot campaign intensifies against turkey
Despite the economic relations between India and Turkey, Turkey under the leadership of President Erdoan has always been supported by Pakistan on the issue of Kashmir and this time too, it got the same attitude during the struggle started with the Indian air strike after the Pahalgam Terror Attack. Even in the past attack on the border between India and Pakistan, it was revealed that attacks were carried out in India with Turkish Drone.
There is a tremendous anger in India against this and the Baycot Turki campaign has intensified. Its effect has also been shown, where traders have stopped buying apples from Turkey, so many travel agencies for Turkey, depending on tourism, have also canceled the travel packages. The travel platform Easemytrip has raised the slogan of ‘Nation First, Business Abter’ and has advised the passengers not to travel to the countries supporting Pakistan.
Business is big between India and India
India and Turkish are a big trade partner (India-Turkey Trade Partner). This can be gauged by looking at the data of bilateral trade between the two countries. According to imports and export data, the India-Turkey Trade was around $ 13.8 billion in FY 2022-23 and in its next financial year i.e. 2023-24 it was a total of $ 10.43 billion, with exports $ 6.65 billion and imports $ 3.78 billion. Not only this, Turkey has also made a big investment in India. From April 2000 to December 2023, the total FDI was $ 227.5 million, on the other hand Indian companies made an investment of about $ 200 million in Türkiye between August 2000 and March 2024.
Turkish salmon is sold indiscriminately in India
If we talk about the big brands of the Turkas present in the Indian market, then their list is long. From furniture to personal care, from home appliances to apples are being sold. India is a big market for Turkish carpets, Turki furniture, turcish porcelain, knitwear, ceramic tiles, cherry, dry fruits, olive oil.
Looking at the list of major Turkish brands present in India, it includes Konfor Furniture, Home Appliances related to Beko Appliances, Arçelik, Vestel, Food Sector in Godiva, ülker, Turkish Delight, çaykur and others, other, fashioned Trendyol, LC WAIKIOL, LC WAIKIOL, Products of Mavi, Defacto, Sarar are included.

Travel company said- ‘Country first, business later …’
Now Pakistan’s friendly Turki-Ajarbaijan is being continuously being bocied in India and travel flatforms are seen at the forefront. Easemy Trip, giving a big message, has said that, ‘Nation first, business later’. With this, the passengers have advised to avoid traveling non-essential countries supporting Pakistan.
Easmiatrip co-founder Nishant Pitti said in her social media posts that last year 2,87,000 Indians traveled to Turks and 2,43,000 traveled to Azerbaijan. 10-12 percent of their economies depend only on tourism. Taval firms Baycott can also see Maldives -like effect on Turki.
Apple is also shocking Trukey
Amid the increasing tension between India and Pakistan, Indians are not feeling to support Turki to Pakistan. Since then, the boycott of Turkish products, especially Turkish apples started in India. In the Boycott Turkey Campaign, the traders of Pune have further strengthened this movement by removing apples from Turkas from the market. Let us know that the Turki does a turnover of about Rs 1000-1200 crore in every season through apples.
One more thing to tell that like Pakistan, Turkey does not stand anywhere in front of India and if you look at GDP, where India GDP is $ 4.19, then Turkey GDP is just $ 1.12 trillion. Türkiye’s Pakistan love and ‘Boycott Turkey’ campaign in India can prove to be its back breaking.
CAIT also opened a front against Turkey
Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), a top organization of traders across the country, has appealed to traders across the country to openly support Pakistan by China, Turkish and Azerbaijan to buy Turkyy or Azerbaijan visits. Let us know that Kat has been campaigning to boycott Chinese products for the past several years about China, which is also a wide impact. CAIT National General Secretary and MP from Chandni Chowk, Praveen Khandelwal said that if Indian citizens boycott the visit to Turki and Azerbaijan, it will get a big adverse effect on the economy, especially the tourism sector of these countries.
