Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin discuss expanding bilateral cooperation and set a goal to raise India–Russia trade to $100 billion by 2030, according to reports from multiple outlets.
The coverage links the discussion to the leaders’ engagement on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in New Delhi in September 12–13. One report specifies that an Indian envoy relays that the leaders directed officials to broaden cooperation across the full range of bilateral relations, while others emphasise the trade target itself.
Across the sources, the core facts align: Modi and Putin push for increased India–Russia trade, with a stated long-term benchmark of $100 billion by 2030, and the talks are tied to BRICS-related meetings in New Delhi. The main difference is how much context each outlet provides about the scope of directives versus the headline focus on the trade figure.
