India and Russia set $100 billion trade target by 2030

India and Russia are aiming to take their partnership up a notch, setting a $100 billion trade target by 2030.
Announced after leaders met in New Delhi, the plan is all about moving beyond just defense deals: think more collaboration in energy, fertilizers, and manufacturing.
Roadmap balances defense and other sectors
This new roadmap builds on their long-standing annual summits and highlights both countries' push to balance out their relationship.
While India's recent order for more S-400 missile systems shows defense is still important, both sides want to open up fresh opportunities in other sectors.
The move also helps them stay resilient together as global politics (and energy markets) keep shifting.
