India imported Russian goods to the tune of $15.5 billion, making Russia the second-largest supplier of goods to the South Asian giant after China, according to data from India's Ministry of Commerce and Industry.

The United Arab Emirates is currently in third place, with its exports to India in January-March 2023 amounting to $12.7 billion, a $0.6 billion increase year-on-year.
