Welcome to the Trade Commissioner Service in New Delhi! With a mandate to promote Canada's economic interests in India, we help Canadian companies do business in the emerging Indian market.

Canada's trade team in India is located in a number of offices - the Consulates General in Mumbai and Chandigarh, the Canadian Trade Office in Bangalore, the Canadian Consulate in Chennai, and the Honorary Consulate of Canada in Kolkata. Together, we strive to serve Canadian business interests in every part of India.

With a view to serving the Canadian business interests efficiently in the diverse Indian market, responsibility for the Indian market is shared. The Consulate General in Mumbai, along with the Canadian Trade Office in Bangalore, is responsible for the 5 western coastal states of India - Maharashtra, Gujarat, Goa, Karnataka and Kerala. The Commercial Section of the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi, together with the Canadian Consulate General in Chandigarh and the Canadian Consulate in Chennai, covers the rest of India and also the Himalayan kingdoms of Nepal and Bhutan. The New Delhi Office also takes the lead on national issues, including government relations and trade policies. Also significant to Canada-India business relations are several other key functions of the High Commission in New Delhi, including public advocacy functions and those concerning economic and political aspects of the larger bilateral relationship with India.
