Claim
India's trade with Europe over four years equals the size of Pakistan's entire economy.

Rationale
India's trade with Europe is roughly $135 billion/year in goods alone (and ~$200bn including services). Four years of goods trade totals about $540 billion, which meets and in fact exceeds Pakistan's entire GDP of roughly $370 billion. The core comparison—that a few years of India-Europe trade equals Pakistan's whole economy—is supported by the figures; if anything the 'four years' framing is conservative, since the cumulative trade surpasses Pakistan's GDP in under three years. The magnitudes are of the correct order, so the claim holds as a factual scale comparison.
