Indian exporters are set to showcase their capabilities at the MITEX International Tools Expo 2025 in Moscow, scheduled from November 11 to 14. The delegation, led by the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO), includes over 20 companies from the engineering and industrial hardware sectors. The initiative is part of India’s broader strategy to deepen trade relations with Russia and diversify export markets.
The exhibition comes at a time when Indian exporters are seeking alternatives to traditional markets impacted by global tariff shifts, particularly from the US.
Key highlights:
- The Indian delegation will present hand tools, fasteners, machinery parts, and industrial hardware.
- Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal will chair a buyer-seller meet in Moscow on November 14.
- Russia has shown increased interest in Indian goods, especially in engineering, food, and consumer electronics.
- India’s exports to Russia rose 11.1% year-on-year in September 2025, signaling a potential rebound.
- The event is expected to facilitate long-term partnerships and sourcing agreements with Russian buyers.
- FIEO emphasized the importance of this platform in countering trade imbalances and expanding India’s global footprint.
The MITEX 2025 participation underscores India’s commitment to strengthening bilateral trade with Russia through sector-specific engagement and strategic outreach.
