India - an economic powerhouse

India is on its way to becoming a global economic powerhouse and has recently overtaken the United Kingdom to become the world’s fifth-largest economy.

The country’s large and young population, combined with a rapidly growing middle class, is strengthening purchasing power and increasing demand for everything from consumer goods to technology and services. This development creates enormous opportunities and opens doors for Norwegian companies looking to establish themselves in one of the world’s most dynamic markets.

India’s growing interest in solutions related to decarbonization, batteries and energy storage systems, sustainable shipping, and health technology is an advantage for Norway, which is at the forefront in developing these types of technologies. At the same time, it presents a unique opportunity to play a key role in the country’s ambitious push for a green transition.
