The Russia and Ukraine war and subsequent imposition of several sanctions on Russia by different countries.
Indian Exports

Many trade organizations in Russia have reached out to the Confederation of All India Traders.
Asking its assistance to link the Russian demand with Indian manufacturers, traders, and merchant exporters for Indian exports goods.
Realizing the best opportunity, the Indian merchants have shown great interest in exporting goods to Russia.
