With over 10 months of extreme cold climate in Russia, India can has the potential to cater to this weather through items such as leather jackets, caps, boots, pashmina shawls and various other woolens, which it can export.
Also with Russia’s push to become environment friendly, India can provide it with jute bags, Dadu added.
