NEW DELHI — India and Poland have agreed to double bilateral trade by 2030 and strengthen cooperation in defence, technology, space, energy and infrastructure, following high-level talks in New Delhi.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk discussed ways to expand economic and strategic ties during Tusk’s official visit to India from October 21 to 23.
Bilateral trade currently stands at approximately $6.3 billion. The two countries aim to double that figure by 2030 while increasing investment, strengthening supply chains and creating new opportunities for businesses.
New framework for defence cooperation
The leaders agreed to establish a Defence Industry Dialogue to encourage closer cooperation between Indian and Polish defence companies. The proposed framework will explore opportunities for technology partnerships, joint development, co-production and other forms of industrial collaboration.
Both sides also highlighted the importance of cooperation in cybersecurity, defence innovation and critical and emerging technologies. Space cooperation was identified as another area with potential for expanded engagement.
Technology and investment opportunities
India and Poland intend to promote business partnerships in industrial machinery, pharmaceuticals, mining, critical minerals, energy, information technology and infrastructure.
The two countries also plan to encourage joint research in artificial intelligence, semiconductors and quantum technologies, alongside stronger links between startups, research institutions and businesses.
Poland could offer Indian companies opportunities to expand into Central and Eastern European markets, while Polish businesses could benefit from India’s large domestic market, skilled workforce and expanding manufacturing sector.
India–EU trade ties also in focus
The leaders called for the early signing, ratification and implementation of the India–European Union Free Trade Agreement. Once implemented, the agreement is expected to create further opportunities for trade and investment.
Poland’s decision to join the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI) was another significant outcome of the visit. The initiative promotes infrastructure designed to withstand natural disasters and other disruptions.
The discussions mark a broader effort by New Delhi and Warsaw to turn their strategic partnership into practical cooperation across trade, investment, defence and advanced technology.
