India-Russia trade has grown five-fold to $68 bn, but major trade imbalance needs addressing: EAM

Moscow/New Delhi, Aug 20 (UNI) External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar today said that while bilateral trade in goods between India and Russia has grown more than five-fold, from USD 13 billion in 2021 to USD 68 billion in 2024-25, the major trade imbalance accompanying the growth needs to be addressed. Speaking at the 26th Session of the India-Russia Inter-Governmental Commission for Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technological, and Cultural Cooperation (IRIGC-TEC), in Moscow, the EAM made some suggestions on how the two sides can improve their efficiency and deepen economic cooperation. The EAM remarked that the two sides are meeting in Moscow after 10 months since the last Session in November 2024 in New Delhi, which he said is perhaps the shortest interval between the two sessions that they have had. 'Over the last four years, our bilateral trade in goods has increased, as you have noted, more than five-fold from USD 13 billion in 2021 to USD 68 billion in 2024-25 and it continues to grow. However, a major trade imbalance has accompanied the growth; it has increased from USD 6.6 billion to USD 58.9 billion which is about nine times. So we need to address that urgently,' he said. Outlining some of the salient features of the agenda, he said. 'Addressing tariff and non-tariff trade barriers, removing bottlenecks in logistics, promoting connectivity through the International North-South Transport Corridor, the Northern Sea Route and the Chennai-Vladivostok Corridor, effecting payment mechanisms smoothly, timely finalization and execution of the Programme of Economic Cooperation till 2030, the early conclusion of the India-Eurasian Economic Union FTA, whose terms of reference were finalised today, and regular interaction between the businesses of the two countries – these are among the key elements.' He said these will not only help to address the imbalance and grow the trade, but also hasten the timely achievement of their revised trade target of USD 100 billion by 2030. EAM Jaishankar said that they are meeting in the backdrop of a complex geopolitical situation, and both their leaders remain closely and regularly engaged, and provide 'wise and practical guidance to our Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership'. Among the suggestions he outlined were, that the various Working Groups and Sub Groups could take a more creative and innovative approach. He said the two sides could focus more on areas like the smoothness of settlements, of better logistics, of diversifying the trade basket, creating more joint ventures, moving on skilling and mobility. He suggested that the two sides should continuously diversify and expand their agenda through mutual consultation. 'This will help us to tap into full potential of our trade and investment ties. We should not get stuck on a beaten track. Doing more and doing differently should be our mantras.' He urged that they should set themselves some quantifiable targets and specific timelines so that they challenge themselves to achieve more. 'Each Working Group and each Sub Group could apply itself to setting of targets and see what we could achieve by the next session of the IRIGC-TEC.' He also suggested that they should have at least two inter-sessional meetings between the IRIGC Sessions, including a virtual midterm review with all the Co-Chairs like they did in 2023. He also suggested having a coordination mechanism between the Business Forum and the different Working Groups of the IRIGC, so that there is a two-way flow between people in the business world and people in the policy world. Addressing the Business Forum later, the EAM said that the two sides have 'concluded the Terms of Reference for the India-Eurasian Economic Union FTA. That will surely make a difference when concluded.' He said in a post on X: 'Co-chaired an extremely productive 26th India-Russia Inter-Governmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technological and Cultural Cooperation IRIGC-TEC along with First DPM Denis Manturov of Russia today. 'We had detailed discussions on our cooperation in a wide-ranging arena including trade & economic sector, agriculture, energy, industries, skilling, mobility, education and culture. 'As we meet in the backdrop of a complex geopolitical situation, made the following suggestions to make the IRIGIC-TEC an even more efficient catalyst for deepening our economic cooperation: *Need for a creative and innovative approach. *Continuously diversify and expand our agenda through mutual consultations. *Set quantifiable targets and specific timelines so that we challenge ourselves to achieve more, perhaps even surpass what we set out to do. *Have at least two inter-sessional meetings between the IRIGC Sessions. And a virtual midterm review with all the Co-Chairs. Have a coordination mechanism between the Business Forum and the different Working Groups of the IRIGC-TEC, so that there is a two-way flow. 'As we prepare for the Annual Leaders Summit, confident that the outcomes of the IRIGC-TEC meeting today will further drive the time tested India-Russia partnership." UNI RN

Amid Threat of US Tariffs, India Flags Soaring Trade Deficit, Russia Assures Oil Flows

Jaishankar interacts with prominent Russian scholars and think tank representatives in Moscow. Photo: X/@DrSJaishankar via PTI. New Delhi: External affairs minister S. Jaishankar on Wednesday (August 20) pressed Russia to address India's ballooning trade deficit even as Moscow pledged to keep supplying discounted oil despite US tariff threats and said it hoped trilateral talks with India and China would soon resume. Jaishankar, who is in Moscow to co-chair the 26th session of the Inter-Governmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technological and Cultural Cooperation, noted that bilateral trade had risen more than five-fold in four years, from $13 billion in 2021 to $ 68 billion in 2024-25, but that India's trade deficit with Russia had widened nearly nine times to $58.9 billion. 'So we need to address that urgently,' he said in his opening remarks. India's trade with Russia had long remained modest until the Ukraine war, when traditional crude suppliers in West Asia shifted exports toward Europe. India responded by sharply increasing its purchases of discounted Russian oil, driving a surge in overall trade volumes. Outlining the agenda of the inter-governmental commission, Jaishankar listed the need to remove tariff and non-tariff barriers, ease logistics bottlenecks, expand connectivity projects such as the International North-South Transport Corridor and the Chennai-Vladivostok Corridor, and ensure smooth payment mechanisms. He also called for the early conclusion of the India-Eurasian Economic Union Free Trade Agreement and closer engagement between businesses to help reach the revised target of growing bilateral trade to $100 billion by 2030. Russian first deputy prime minister Denis Manturov, who co-chaired the meeting, was quoted by Interfax as saying that shipments of crude, petroleum products and coal to India would continue, while Moscow also saw scope for expanding liquefied natural gas exports. Manturov added that Russia was seeking deeper cooperation with India in nuclear energy. In New Delhi, Russian officials echoed that oil supplies to India would remain steady despite Washington's decision to raise tariffs on Indian exports to 50%, half of which the US has linked to Russian crude imports. Roman Babushkin, the charge d'affaires at the Russian embassy, said Moscow and New Delhi would find ways to overcome the US measures in their 'national interests'. 'I want to highlight that despite the political situation, we can predict … the same level of oil import,' he told reporters. Deputy trade commissioner Evgeny Griva said discounted prices made Russian oil 'very profitable' for India, with supplies averaging 5%-7% cheaper than other sources. He said Moscow had developed a 'special mechanism' to keep flows uninterrupted and had begun accepting rupee payments after resolving issues that had left billions of dollars stuck in Indian banks. Babushkin, the second-seniormost Russian diplomat in India, also hoped that with warming ties between New Delhi and Beijing, there would be potential to revive trilateral cooperation with India and China under what it calls a 'greater Eurasian partnership'. Last month, Indian officials had not been publicly enthusiastic about the push for reviving the Russia-India-China format. Babushkin noted Russian President Vladimir Putin would visit New Delhi by the end of the year for the annual summit with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Putin and Modi will also be together in China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit starting August 31.

Jaishankar said, "Tariff and non-tariff trade barriers, removing bottlenecks in logistics, promoting connectivity through the International North-South Transport Corridor, the Northern Sea Route and the Chennai-Vladivostok Corridor, effecting payment mechanisms smoothly -- these are the main issues before the IRIGC-TEC."The External Affairs Minister emphasised that the commission had finalised the terms of reference for the FTA during the Moscow meeting, marking a crucial step forward in IN BILATERAL TRADEJaishankar drew attention to the growth in India-Russia trade, which has risen more than five-fold in four years. Bilateral goods trade climbed from $13 billion in 2021 to $68 billion in 2024-25, largely due to India's rising imports of Russian hydrocarbons after Western sanctions hit the Russian Embassy in India said that Russia-India trade has increased by 700% over the past five years. However, the EAM warned that the surge had created a disproportionate imbalance. The trade gap, which was $6.6 billion in 2021, has now ballooned to $58.9 billion."So, we need to address that urgently," he said, urging Moscow to facilitate greater access for Indian IRIGC, he explained, is a "key mechanism" for preparing the ground for the Annual India-Russia Summit expected later this year.
