Poland Embassy Locations in India

India and Poland have a warm and cooperative relationship. Poland has established its embassy and consular offices at key locations across India to manage diplomatic work and assist citizens.

India and Poland Relations

Diplomatic relations between Poland and India were established in 1954. Regular contacts, even at the highest levels, have been maintained after the transformation changes in Poland and economic reforms in India.

• Trade Relations: Between 2013 and 2023, bilateral trade between India and Poland increased by 192%, from US$1.95 billion in 2013 to US$5.72 billion in 2023. The balance of trade continues to be mainly in favour of India.
• Mining and Energy Sector: Poland is known for its clean coal technologies, and Polish public sector companies have played a significant role in developing India's mining and power sectors. Engineers from Coal India Limited have received specialised training in Polish mines focused on intelligent mining. India and Poland signed a Memorandum of Understanding on 4 February 2019 in New Delhi to strengthen cooperation in the coal and mining sectors.
• IT and ICT Cooperation: Indian and Polish IT and ICT companies work together in a complementary way. Around 11 major Indian IT companies operate in Poland, employing over 10,000 professionals and managing their European operations. The Polish IT sector is growing due to rising incomes, investment in data networks, and a strong level of computer literacy. Leading Indian companies like Infosys and HCL have established a strong presence in Poland.
• Cultural Relations: Poland has a long tradition of Indology studies, with Sanskrit translated into Polish as early as the 19th century. Today, it is estimated that over 300,000 people practice yoga in Poland, with about 1,000 yoga centres and 8,000 yoga teachers. Several Indo-Polish Friendship Societies promote Indian culture and foster people-to-people contacts.
