India will send its largest-ever trade delegation to Canada next week
100–150+ Indian business leaders, depending on the source

Sectors represented: energy, infrastructure, technology, manufacturing, investment, innovation, metals & mining, automotive, aerospace, textiles, agriculture, telecom, pharmaceuticals

This is the largest Indian trade delegation to visit any country, according to the Indo‑Canada Chamber of Commerce.

India sees Canada as a key partner for:

Critical minerals and uranium

Clean energy cooperation

AI, technology, and innovation ecosystems

Investment from Canada’s “Maple 8” pension funds, which manage over CAD $2.4 trillion

Canada, for its part, is looking to expand access to India’s 1.4‑billion‑person consumer market and deepen ties in energy, tech, and talent mobility.

Strategic goals of the visit
Advance CEPA (Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement) negotiations

Talks were relaunched in 2025

Both sides aim to conclude a deal by end of 2026

Boost bilateral trade

Current trade: ~$8–8.5 billion

Target: $50–70 billion by 2030

Catalyze investment

Canada has already invested ~$100 billion in India

About 600 Canadian companies operate in India; goal is 1,000

High-level political reset

Goyal will meet PM Mark Carney, Foreign Minister Anita Anand, and Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu

The visit follows Carney’s March 2026 trip to India, where $5.5 billion in deals were signed
