India-Japan Economic Partnership
India and Japan run their economic relationship under a Special Strategic and Global Partnership, agreed in 2014, and a bilateral trade agreement in force since 2011. India's trade with Japan came to USD 27.48 billion in FY 2025-26, and Japanese business has a JPY 10 trillion investment target for India over the coming decade. More than 70 standing dialogues carry the work, and on 22 September 2026 Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri took it up with a Japanese ruling-party delegation in New Delhi, which pressed for a deeper economic-security partnership.
