There are no pure traditional economy in the World now. India is not a traditional economy. Many economies continue with traditional small scale/ cottage/ village industries limited by local markets as well as traditional small scale fragmented land farming, but most economies have modern industries and transport, growing urbanization. None of the countries can be strictly referred to as traditional economies. And, many of the countries are exporting and importing through cross border trade. Many are capitalist economies, often mixed economies. Some are relatively closed economies with communist or religious dictatorships.

If you mean which countries have small scale traditional industries coexisting with modern industries, then most undeveloped and developing countries fall in this category. They include, beside India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal. Vietnam, Indonesia,. Myanmar, , Mauritius, several poor African countries.

A traditional economy is an economic system in which resources are allocated by inheritance, and which has a strong social network and is based on primitive methods and tools. It is strongly connected to subsistence farming. Most countries that have historically had a traditional economy have replaced it with a command economy, market economy, or mixed economy. However, it is still found today in underdeveloped, agricultural parts of South America, Asia, and Africa. A traditional economy is where people produce most of what they need to survive. Hunting and gathering, farming, and herding cattle are the bases of traditional economy. People hunt for the food they eat or raise it themselves. Often they make their own clothing and tools. If they produce more food than they need, they trade the surplus, or extra food, for goods made by others.
