Russia could be India's new market as US hikes tariffs
With the US hiking tariffs on Indian exports like seafood and textiles, India is looking at Russia as a fresh market for its goods.
The upcoming summit could seal major deals—think new missile systems for India's jets, agreements on coal and fertilizer supplies, access to rare minerals, and even job opportunities in Russia for Indian workers.
Plus, both sides are working toward bigger projects in nuclear energy and Arctic research.
This trip isn't just about diplomacy—it could open up new opportunities for Indian workers and businesses in trade, technology, and other sectors.
