New Delhi (India), August 10: In a bid to strengthen economic ties and foster innovation, the Governor of New Mexico, Michelle Lujan Grisham, is currently visiting India to explore strategic partnerships with Indian higher education institutions, businesses, and government officials. The visit, which extends until August 10, highlights the growing economic synergy between India and the United States.
As the U.S.-India relationship continues to flourish, the potential for business opportunities and investments between the two nations has never been greater. The collaboration between these global giants is poised to drive economic growth and innovation across various sectors, creating a win-win scenario for businesses on both sides of the globe.
In recent years, the Indo-Pacific Economic Corridor and the U.S.-India Strategic Energy Partnership have provided a significant boost to bilateral economic engagement. In FY 2023, the United States emerged as India’s top trading partner for merchandise goods, with the total bilateral trade value reaching an impressive $128.78 billion. Additionally, 163 Indian companies have invested more than $40 billion in the U.S., generating over 425,000 direct jobs.
For Indian companies eyeing expansion into the U.S. market, New Mexico stands out as an ideal entry point. Known for its pro-business policies, strategic location, and robust support for innovation, New Mexico offers a perfect gateway for successful expansion plans.
Melinda Allen, President and CEO of the New Mexico Partnership, has played a pivotal role in transforming New Mexico into a thriving hub for business and innovation. Under her leadership, the state has attracted significant investments, created jobs, and set a new standard for economic development.

Indian companies looking to invest in New Mexico can benefit from various incentives, including reimbursable grants, job training programs, and refundable tax credits tailored to meet their specific needs.
