India has increasingly attracted the attention of Brazilian businesses in recent years. Between July 2023 and August 2024, 77 Brazilian trade missions visited the country, more than double the number seen in comparable periods in previous years. Companies such as Embraer, Taurus, Tramontina, and Petrobras are among those already operating in India or seeking to expand their presence there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Kenneth F\u00e9lix Haczynski da N\u00f3brega, Brazil\u2019s ambassador to India and Bhutan, told Valor that over half of the missions were either multisectoral or focused on agriculture and aerospace\/defense. Other key areas included technology, healthcare, and energy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Both countries, members of the BRICS bloc, have strengthened ties following trade tensions triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump, which affected industries in both Brazil and India.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Defense companies worldwide have begun seeking partnerships to reduce their technological dependence on powers such as the United States and France. This movement led the Abu Dhabi-based defense technology company Edge Group to invest more than $550 million in Brazil since March 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Embraer is also stepping up efforts. The Brazilian aerospace company recently opened an office in India, primarily to support negotiations with the Indian government for the potential sale of up to 80 units of its KC-390 military transport aircraft.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Just over a week ago, when it inaugurated the new office, Embraer announced an agreement with Indian conglomerate Mahindra to advance a project that could lead to local production of the KC-390.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Also in the defense sector, Taurus and CBC (Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos) are operating in India through joint ventures with local companies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Tramontina, meanwhile, opened a factory in the Indian state of Karnataka this year\u2014its first manufacturing plant outside Brazil\u2014via a joint venture with the Indian firm Aequs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Oil supply<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Another strategic priority for India is securing petroleum supply partnerships. In February, executives from Petrobras visited India to finalize a deal with state-owned Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to Petrobras, India accounted for 4% of its oil exports in 2024. The country, which is the world\u2019s third-largest oil importer, met about 85% of its oil demand through imports last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Brazil\u2019s Central Bank reported in its 2024 Foreign Direct Investment Report<\/a>\u00a0that the stock of Brazilian direct investment in India reached $122 million at the end of 2023, a record high. Between 2014 and 2023, this investment grew by an average of 11.5% per year. Still, Brazil\u2019s nominal investment in India remains small, representing less than 1% of its total global FDI stock.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIndia is currently governed by a party with a very clear national vision. They\u2019re building a network of international partnerships to support their rise, and I would say Brazil is among the countries they see as strategic, not just politically, but economically and technologically,\u201d said Mr. N\u00f3brega. With business activity on the rise, the Brazilian Embassy is considering a new headquarters in the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Bilateral trade<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In 2024, Brazilian imports from India totaled $6.8 billion, while exports reached $5.3 billion, based on trade data. From 2004 to 2024, India rose from 29th to 13th place among Brazil\u2019s top export destinations, according to a June report by ApexBrasil, the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency. Since 2019, Brazil\u2019s global exports have grown by an average of 7.3% per year, while exports to India have increased by 13.7%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

India\u2019s economic growth is central to addressing some of its major domestic challenges, including widespread malnutrition. In this context, agricultural partnerships, especially in technology, play a key role in the Brazil\u2013India relationship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cBrazil is seen as a country capable of providing supplies and technology in key areas like agriculture,\u201d said Ambassador N\u00f3brega, emphasizing the absence of geopolitical tensions between the two nations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

More than 50% of India\u2019s population currently lives in rural areas, while over 80% of Brazil\u2019s population is urban. Despite India\u2019s significant agricultural output, the sector remains under-mechanized, creating an opportunity for Brazilian technology and expertise to fill the gap.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Wagner Antunes, head of trade at Brazil\u2019s Embassy in India, highlighted the strong interest in defense and aviation. \u201cBrazil has managed to build a solid and diversified industry,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
