Russia's Ministry of Industry &amp; Trade and India's Ministry of Commerce &amp; Industry will be jointly organising the INNOPROM International Industrial Technology Exhibition in India, ahead of the India-hosted 18th BRICS Leaders' Summit this year, offering a platform that brings together manufacturers and buyers from around the world.&nbsp;&nbsp;This would mark the first time that the INNOPROM Expo is being held in India, and it is aimed at expanding trade and industrial cooperation with India, said Valerii Khodzhaev, Russian Consul General in Chennai, Southern India. Over the past 5 years, the volume of India-Russia trade has increased almost 7 times, with the trade turnover exceeding $60 billion by&nbsp;the end of&nbsp;2025.&nbsp;Speaking at the Russian National Day event in Chennai, Khodzhaev said that the launch of INNOPROM in India reflects the exhibition’s consistent strategy to expand its international footprint and strengthen global industrial and trade cooperation. INNOPROM India expo will be taking place at the Bharat Mandapam Exhibition and Convention Centre in New Delhi, between 9th&nbsp;and 11th&nbsp;September. He highlighted that the event would feature products and technologies from various domains, such as mechanical engineering, mining, metallurgy, chemicals, information technology, pharmaceuticals, medical technologies, and other industries.&nbsp;"India has been selected as a new venue for INNOPROM due to the strategic importance of our bilateral cooperation. With a nominal GDP exceeding USD 4 trillion and a population of approximately 1.5 billion people, India represents one of the world's largest markets for industrial products, technologies, and investment projects. At the same time, India remains one of Russia’s key economic partners: over the past five years, bilateral trade has increased nearly sevenfold, and total trade turnover exceeded $60 billion in 2025. The exhibition is intended to further strengthen cooperation, promote joint projects, and expand industrial and commercial ties between the two nations," he added.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/opinions/can-ai-be-your-best-friend-chatgpt-claude-gemini-and-real-humans-respond-1780904234395">National Best Friends Day: Can AI be your best friend?
