The Minister of State for Commerce & Industry, Shri Jitin Prasada, led the India Business Delegation
at the India–Romania Business Forum today, organised by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of
Brașov (CCIBv) in partnership with the Embassy of India in Bucharest and the Department for
Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Government of India.
The engagement focused on expanding bilateral investment and industrial cooperation between the
two countries, bringing together business leaders from priority sectors such as automotive, aerospace,
defence, renewable energy, engineering services, and ICT.
In his address, Shri Prasada highlighted India’s position as one of the fastest-growing major
economies and invited Romanian enterprises to participate in India’s dynamic manufacturing and
innovation ecosystem under the Make in India and Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes.
A presentation on “Business Opportunities in India” outlined recent policy reforms, ease-of-doing-
business measures, and state-level incentives across key industrial corridors. The session also featured
the signing of Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) and matchmaking interactions to explore joint
ventures and technology partnerships between Indian and Romanian companies.
The Brașov Forum marked a significant milestone in India’s trade and investment engagement with
Central and Eastern Europe, reaffirming both nations’ commitment to building long-term economic
linkages in sustainable manufacturing, green energy, and high-technology industries.
Brașov symbolises modern Romania — where legacy industries meet new-age technologies, where
small and medium enterprises are nurtured, and where innovation thrives. This spirit closely aligns
with India’s vision under Make in India and Digital India, where MSMEs and start-ups serve as
engines of inclusive growth. There exists enormous scope for collaboration between Brașov’s
industrial strengths and India’s manufacturing, design, and engineering capabilities.
