India refused to introduce a visa-free regime for Russian tourist groups As Russian diplomat Alexei Klimov told TASS, the parties agreed to abandon the project, since India had not previously concluded such agreements with any country. At the same time, India is one of the main countries from which Russia plans to attract migrant workers. They plan to attract workers from India and other Asian countries to build large industrial and infrastructure facilities, including the Vostochny Cosmodrome and the high-speed railway between Moscow and St. Petersburg.
