The discussion will focus on strategic dialogue, trade mechanisms, logistics resilience, technological partnership, and interregional cooperation.

In the afternoon, five thematic sessions will be held on key aspects of cooperation. Participants will discuss logistics, manufacturing and industrial localization, including the development of the North‑South transport corridor and joint production facilities. Special attention will be given to trade, banking, and financial operations, including mechanisms for settlements in national currencies. Experts will examine legal, tax, and regulatory aspects of doing business, issues of human capital development, migration policy, educational partnerships, as well as prospects for cooperation in technology, energy, pharmaceuticals, and innovative industries.

The forum will bring together representatives of government authorities, heads of major companies, investors, and industry experts. The dialogue is expected to produce concrete solutions in industrial cooperation, financial instruments, the creation of investment platforms, and technological alliances capable of ensuring long‑term, sustainable growth of Russian‑Indian economic ties.
