New Delhi business push - India, Russia discuss manufacturing partnerships at INNOPROM 202602:43
Description

Amardeep Singh Bhatia, Secretary of India's Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, joined Russian and Indian officials and business leaders in New Delhi on Wednesday for talks on expanding industrial cooperation between the two countries.

Footage shows Bhatia addressing the 'India-Russia Business Cooperation: Driving Strategic Partnerships and New Opportunities' session at INNOPROM. India, before leaving the stage to applause. He is later seen posing for photographs, shaking hands with Russian Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Aleksei Gruzdev and touring exhibition stands.

At the forum, Bhatia said Russia's United Engine Corporation was exploring possible joint production of aircraft engines in India. He also pointed to existing cooperation on aircraft manufacturing, including plans to produce the SJ-100 regional passenger jet in India.

Aviation is one of several areas where New Delhi and Moscow are pushing for deeper industrial ties, alongside rail transport, mining, fertilisers, energy, critical minerals and advanced manufacturing. The two countries are working to expand cooperation as they pursue a bilateral trade target of USD 100 billion by 2030.

This year's event is the first edition of INNOPROM. India. Running from September 9 to 11 at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, it brings together government representatives, manufacturers and investors for talks covering sectors including mechanical engineering, digital technology, metallurgy and extractive industries.
