US EditionPutin Visits Modi Amid US Push for Ukraine Peace
India and Russia aim to boost trade to $100 billion by 2030 with deals on defence, energy, and payments amid US tariffs and geopolitical tensions, officials said.
- On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi and finalised an economic cooperation programme until 2030 to boost annual trade to $100 billion.
- Under U.S. pressure over oil purchases, New Delhi sought to deepen ties with Moscow as U.S. President Donald Trump raised tariffs to 50% and India became a major Russian oil buyer.
- Defence deliveries have been slow, with India having received three S-400 surface-to-air missile systems under a $5.4 billion deal and pursuing faster deliveries amid war-related delays.
- Analysts say the summit tests New Delhi's balance between Moscow and Washington as critics warn Putin's visit could strain ties with the European Union and United States.
- Planned deals span defence upgrades and broader economic cooperation, including Su-30MKI fighter jets, clean energy, shipbuilding, fertiliser supplies and labour mobility measures.
