Modi and Putin Seal 2030 Roadmap as India and Russia Deepen Energy and Trade Ties

The roadmap signals India’s effort to strengthen links with Moscow despite U.S. tariffs and sanctions pressure.

Overview

  • The leaders unveiled a Vision 2030 program targeting roughly $100 billion in trade by 2030 and expanding cooperation in energy, technology, defense manufacturing and labor mobility.
  • Russia pledged uninterrupted fuel supplies to India, with both sides highlighting civil nuclear work at Kudankulam and plans for new connectivity such as the North–South transport corridor.
  • Multiple agreements and MoUs were exchanged across health, mobility and migration, food safety, shipping and people-to-people exchanges, and India announced free e‑visas for Russian tourists and groups.
  • Defense discussions covered delivery of additional S‑400 air-defense systems, upgrades to Su‑30MKI fighters and broader co-production, with Putin emphasizing a trusted military-technical partnership.
  • Putin said work is underway on a free-trade agreement with the Eurasian Economic Union and noted that most bilateral payments now use national currencies, as India seeks to narrow a Russia‑skewed trade imbalance.
