Murmu urges Romanians to participate in India’s growth
President Droupadi Murmu on Friday asked Romanian companies to participate actively in India’s growth story, citing significant untapped potential in economic partnership between the two countries.
Addressing the India–Romania Business Forum, she said India is today one of the world’s fastest-growing major economies.
“Our economic growth is driven by sound macroeconomic fundamentals, a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, a large and skilled workforce, and sustained commitment to reforms,” Murmu said.
India is undergoing a remarkable transformation, emerging as a global leader in technology, innovation, and sustainable development and experiencing significant success in sectors like renewable energy, digital technology, information technology, telecom, auto and auto-components, pharma and biotechnology, space and fintech, the President said. Romania, with its strategic location at the crossroads of Europe, highly skilled human resources, advanced industrial capabilities and strong integration with the European Union, remains a natural and valuable partner for India, she said.
Romania serves not only as an important destination for investment but also as a gateway to the wider European market, Murmu said. “There is significant untapped potential in our economic partnership. Bilateral trade has expanded steadily over the years, but it remains well below its true potential,” the President said.
Indian companies are exploring Romania as a strategic entry point to the European market, while Romanian businesses can explore new opportunities in India, she said.
“I am confident that our business communities will seize these emerging opportunities and transform them into successful commercial partnerships.
I also encourage Romanian companies to participate actively in India’s growth story,” Murmu said. She said our businesses can build resilient supply chains, generate employment, promote innovation and create sustainable prosperity for our peoples.
