Abstract
The article deals with the study of the prospects for economic cooperation between Russia and India in the context of new geopolitical realities.

Special attention is paid to Indian investments in the Russian economy. The paper analyzes the mechanisms of interaction at both the state and regional levels, intergovernmental committees and forums concerned with strengthening business ties and stimulating innovative development. It also highlights the role of India as a strategic partner for Russia in the fields of nuclear energy and resource processing. The authors aim to analyze current trends in economic cooperation between Russia and India, as well as to investigate the influence of contemporary geopolitical factors on Russian-Indian economic relations. The article concludes that Russian-Indian economic relations possess significant potential for growth in the context of the emerging new multipolar system of international relations.
