New Delhi, February 10
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to France is set to give a major boost to economic and trade relations between the two nations. With bilateral trade exceeding $13 billion and growing investments in key sectors such as defence, infrastructure, and digital technology, the visit will focus on strengthening strategic partnerships.

India and France share a dynamic economic relationship, with trade, investment, and industrial partnerships playing a crucial role. Over 700 French companies operate in India, contributing to economic growth and job creation.

Indian companies are expanding their presence in France, particularly in IT and manufacturing. Artificial intelligence and digital technology are emerging as new frontiers in economic collaboration. Coumar Ananda, President of the Chambers of Commerce and Industries France-India, says the economic relationship between the two countries is expanding beyond traditional sectors.

“The future of trade relations between India and France looks brighter than ever. French companies are increasing their footprint in India, while Indian businesses are investing in France across technology, healthcare, and financial services. This visit will further accelerate economic collaboration.”

As India and France continue to build on their strong economic foundation, this visit marks a significant step in deepening their trade ties and enhancing global collaboration in emerging technologies.
