As of August 29, 2025, India and Japan have strengthened their Special Strategic and Global Partnership with an emphasis on semiconductors, clean energy, critical minerals, and economic security. [1] The two governments launched the India-Japan dialogue on economic security, which aims to address economic issues with energy security implications. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology of India and Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) signed a cooperation pact that has initiated several projects in these sectors. For example, a partnership between Japanese semiconductor manufacturer Renesas Electronics and Indian conglomerate CG Power has emerged to set up an Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facility in Gujarat, India. Additionally, a new memorandum of cooperation has expanded collaboration on rare earths and critical minerals, boosting the mineral resources sector. The agreement builds on projects such as Toyota Tsusho’s refining initiative in Andhra Pradesh, India. Both countries are also coordinating through multilateral frameworks such as the Mineral Security Partnership and Quad Critical Minerals Initiatives. Clean energy has emerged as another focal point as India and Japan have signed a memorandum on the Joint Crediting Mechanism and a declaration on clean hydrogen and ammonia. They are also collaborating on battery supply chains and biofuel initiatives, supported by new lines of credit and investments in green projects.
