SAARC has eight Member nations namely Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. SAARC was established to fulfill the following objectives-to promote and strengthen collective self-reliance among the countries of South Asia, to enhance economic growth, to assist each other in various fields such as economic, social, cultural etc. and to offer cooperation and assistance with international and regional organization with similar aims and objectives. The purpose of this article is to analyze the growth rate of India’s exports to and imports from SAARC region and also to analyze India’s bilateral trade relations with its two major trading partners of SAARC namely Bangladesh and Nepal during the five year period from 2013-14 to 2017-18.Statistical tools such as percentage method and regressions in log natural form have been used to arrive at conclusive results.
