RUSSIAN–INDIAN relations have been developing dynamically year after year, achieving record results across numerous indicators.
The evolution of bilateral ties in the 2020s shows that the rapprochement between Moscow and New Delhi is not a tactical manoeuvre but a long-term foreign policy priority for both states.
Consequently, analyzing various aspects of Russian-Indian cooperation, exchanging views on prospects for expanding interaction, and discussing potential solutions to existing challenges remain perpetually relevant.
In 2025, Russian-Indian cooperation demonstrated significant resilience to external economic pressure. India’s decision not to curb trade with Russia, even under the threat of secondary US sanctions, served as practical evidence of New Delhi’s commitment to deepening its partnership with Moscow.
Trade, long considered the “weak link” in Russian-Indian relations, has transformed into their main driving force. In the 2024-2025 financial year, bilateral trade turnover reached a record high of $68.7 billion.
