The International North South Transport Corridor (INSTC) has contributed to a record rate of trade and economic cooperation between Russia and India. In the 2022-2023 financial year, exports from Russia to India increased by 4.7 times. The activation of INSTC has played a significant role in this growth, reducing the net cost of transportation services along the Eastern route by 50%. All three branches of INSTC are operational, connecting various member countries.
