To import CNC machining centers from China into India: they classify under HS 8457, duty is calculated on the CIF value and import IGST is 18%. There is no trade agreement with China, so the general duty for the exact tariff code applies. The key conformity requirement is BIS (for regulated products). Order the machine for 230/415 V, 50 Hz and pay the balance only after a factory acceptance test.
