Russian President Vladimir Putin is coming to India for two days on Thursday (December 4, 2025). Not just India, the entire world is talking about Putin’s visit. Three months ago, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Putin met in Tianjin, China, the whole world talked about their friendship. Both had reached China for the SCO summit.
The Russian President is coming to India at a time when India has to pay heavy tariffs to buy oil from Russia. Despite this, the whole world has been shocked to see India’s GDP growth. Only last month, the Finance Ministry said that India’s GDP growth rate was recorded at 8.2 percent in the third quarter from July to September. The whole world is surprised to see this figure because it was being estimated that India’s economy could be affected due to the huge tariffs imposed by America.
Now if we talk about the economies of both the countries, Russia’s economy is half that of India. This year, India has become the fourth largest economy in the world, leaving behind Japan. India’s total GDP is 4.3 trillion dollars, while Russia’s GDP is 2.54 trillion dollars. Russia ranks ninth among the world’s largest economies.
US President Donald Trump has imposed a penalty of 25 percent tariff on India for purchasing oil from Russia, whereas he had already increased the tariff by 25 percent. He says that India imposes higher tariff than America, in return they have imposed 25 percent tariff and they have imposed additional 25 percent tariff as a penalty for buying Russian oil.
Putin will reach Delhi in the evening and will meet Prime Minister Modi at his residence directly from the airport. PM Modi has also organized a private dinner for him. Many agreements related to energy, trade and defense are likely to be signed in this meeting. Apart from this, many international level issues can also be discussed, due to which US President Donald Trump and the leaders of Pakistan, China and Ukraine are paying special attention to the meeting.
