A delegation of about 300 Canadian business leaders and officials landed in India to explore investment opportunities and deepen trade relations.
New Delhi welcomed a sizable Canadian trade mission comprising roughly 300 senior executives, government officials and industry experts. The group is scheduled to meet Indian ministries, state governments and leading corporations over the next week to identify sectors where Canadian expertise can complement Indian growth.
Key focus areas include clean energy, advanced manufacturing, agri‑technology and digital services, reflecting both countries' ambition to expand cooperation beyond traditional commodities. Delegates will also attend B2B matchmaking events organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry and the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service.
The visit comes as both capitals have signaled a desire to strengthen economic ties, with recent dialogues highlighting the potential for increased foreign direct investment and joint ventures. Officials expect the mission to lay groundwork for new trade agreements and to boost bilateral commerce, which stood at over $10 billion last fiscal year.
