India's economic and commercial ties  with Norway are on the upswing. There has been a spurt in trade, investments, transfer-of-technology and other contacts.The current growth in Indo-Norwegian eco-commercial ties is fuelled by complementarities of interests, in sectors such as deep off-shore, shipping, hydro-electricity, Information Technology, Bio-Technology and light consumer goods.

Embassy of India in Oslo, together with our Honorary Consuls  General in Bergen and Trondheim give high priority to promotion of bilateral economic and commercial contacts. All possible help is rendered in facilitating these possibilities.
