A major shift is underway in global trade, and Indian MSMEs are uniquely positioned to benefit. As Russia reduces its reliance on Western suppliers, it urgently needs new partners for engineering, industrial, and metal components. India fits this requirement perfectly.

For MSME manufacturers, this isn’t just interesting news.
It’s a real, immediate export opportunity.

Russia is actively sourcing products that Indian factories already make:

• Auto components: bushings, brackets, steering parts
  
• CNC-machined parts: shafts, flanges, housings
  
• Brass components: valves, fittings, connectors
  
• Forgings & industrial parts: flanges, rings, heavy-duty items
  

If your factory produces any of these, Russian buyers are already searching for suppliers like you.

Even better, entering this market can help MSMEs improve their eligibility for government export incentives as India pushes diversification into new, strategic regions. Early entrants often gain priority across schemes such as RoDTEP, IES, MAI, and Russia-focused delegations.

What MSMEs should do next:

1. Identify 5–10 Russia-fit products from your manufacturing line.
   
2. Create a simple product sheet (specs, photos, HS codes).
   
3. Register/update profiles with EEPC and related councils.
   
4. Start with small trial orders to establish credibility.
   

The trade winds have shifted. The opportunity is wide open. Someone will secure this market; why not you?
