From heavy engineering to green technologies, automobiles to industrial automation and machine tools to textile machinery, German companies have flourished in India in general, and places like Pune and Bangalore in particular. According to the Annual Review 2010 of Indo-German Economic Cooperation, Indo-German trade in the first half of 2010 has set a new record with nearly Euro 7.2 bn, and bilateral trade during this period has shot up 15% after experiencing a decline of 7% during the same period last year.

The mood is upbeat, so are the prospects. Among the new German companies coming to India are consumer goods, and the sunrise segments of environment technologies, energy efficiency and renewable energy.

The December 2010 issue of IPF has a very Special Section dedicated to Indo-German Business Partnership. We invite you to participate in this Special Section through product profiles and advertisements.
