Russia Ratifies Agreement to Facilitate Temporary Employment of Indian Workers
Russia has ratified an agreement with India to facilitate the temporary employment of citizens in each other's countries. President Vladimir Putin signed the law in October 2026 after approval by Russia's State Duma and Federation Council. Currently, over 70,000 Indian workers are employed in Russia's construction and textile sectors, with numbers expected to reach 100,000 by year-end. Demand is also rising for Indian specialists in engineering and electronics amid Russia's broader labor shortages.
