Trade between India and Russia is reaching new heights. According to the Indian Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Russia has become India’s fourth largest source of imports in the past year. From April to December 2022, imports totalled $32.8 billion, up from $6.58 billion in the same period of 2021.
India has bought “a lot of crude, converted it into refined petroleum products and sold it,” Indian Commerce Secretary Sunil Barthwal told the Nikkei Asia news outlet. “Enhancing trade and economic cooperation between India and Russia is a key priority for the political leadership of both the countries,” the Indian Embassy in Moscow stated in a 2022 briefing on India-Russia economic relations.
Moscow refrained from condemning India’s 1974 nuclear test and even agreed to ship heavy water for India’s nuclear reactors after the United States and Canada suspended shipment. The Soviets also backed India’s military involvement in Sri Lanka in the 1980s, while India even informally endorsed the Soviet invasion and occupation of Afghanistan in 1979.
