How are Indian goods' imports in Pakistan rising despite trade ban?

Pakistan imported goods worth around ₹5,876 crore from India in Q1 of the 2026-27 fiscal year, up 69% from around ₹3,478 crore in the same period last year, despite suspended direct trade following the Pahalgam attack. Experts suggest the goods are likely being routed via third countries such as UAE and Singapore. These products are then re-labelled, commanding higher prices.
