Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a major announcement during his joint press briefing with Russian President Vladimir Putin in New Delhi: India will soon launch a free 30-day e-tourist visa and group tourist visa for Russian citizens, processed within 30 days at no cost. This move aims to strengthen people-to-people ties, boost tourism amid falling Russian arrivals (from 187K in 2019 to under 60K in 2024), and support bilateral goals like Vision 2030.
