Morocco and India want to give new impetus to their economic cooperation. Meeting in Rabat for the 7th Moroccan-Indian Joint Commission, the two partners expressed their ambition to strengthen trade, investment and industrial cooperation, with the objective of doubling the volume of bilateral trade over the next five years.
Morocco and India have expressed their desire to further strengthen their economic and trade relations. Meeting in Rabat for its 7th session, the Morocco-India Joint Commission reaffirmed the two countries’ ambition to consolidate a strategic partnership based on trade, investment, and industry. Bilateral relations, established in 1993 and strengthened since King Mohammed VI’s visit to India in 2015, are experiencing sustained momentum.
“We reaffirm our country’s commitment to further strengthening its partnership with the Kingdom. We also call for doubling the volume of bilateral trade over the next five years, while working to diversify its structure, remove non-tariff barriers, and facilitate market access for both countries.”
JITIN PRASADA, Minister of State for Trade, Industry and Commerce – India
India aims to double its trade volume with Morocco over the next five years. Bilateral trade reached nearly $4 billion in 2025-2026, including approximately $2.89 billion in Moroccan exports to India and $1.6 billion in Indian exports to the Kingdom. New Delhi also advocates for reducing non-tariff barriers, facilitating market access, and establishing a joint working group dedicated to bilateral trade.
“The meeting of the Moroccan-Indian Joint Commission resulted in several decisions. It also reflected a strong commitment from the Moroccan and Indian governments to strengthen their economic relations and increase the volume of trade.”
OMAR HEJIRA, Secretary of State for Foreign Trade – Morocco
The two countries aim to expand their partnership to key sectors such as automotive, electrical industries, renewable energy, and fertilizers. India is encouraging joint investments and the involvement of its companies in major Moroccan infrastructure projects. Thanks to its geography and free trade agreements, Morocco is thus reinforcing its position as a hub for trade with Africa and Europe.
