Jan 10 \u2013 India and Russia are stepping up maritime collaboration, with fresh emphasis on joint shipbuilding, Arctic-ready operations and alternative trade corridors linking the Indian Ocean to Russia\u2019s Far East\u2014an effort India\u2019s ports and shipping minister Sarbananda Sonowal says signals a \u201cnew era\u201d in maritime connectivity.<\/p>\n
The plans took shape during President Vladimir Putin\u2019s December 4\u20135 visit to India, when he and Prime Minister Narendra Modi moved to deepen economic cooperation and set an ambitious target of pushing bilateral trade to 100 billion dollars by 2030, with shipping and logistics singled out as key enablers.<\/p>\n
Sonowal said the partnership is expected to centre on expanding shipbuilding cooperation and unlocking new routes, including the International North\u2013South Transport Corridor and the Chennai\u2013Vladivostok corridor. He framed the agenda as mutually beneficial, arguing it could support India\u2019s \u201cMake in India\u201d push, create jobs and build longer-term maritime linkages between the two countries.<\/p>\n
Officials see the expanded cooperation as a significant tilt in India\u2019s maritime strategy\u2014one that broadens its global shipping footprint while tightening ties with Russia. By combining India\u2019s shipbuilding capacity and technical expertise with Russia\u2019s experience and resources, both sides are betting on more efficient logistics, steadier trade flows and wider economic gains.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
