Ontario has strong ties with India. Almost 500,000 people in Ontario list India as their ethnic origin. Ontario's trade with India has been on the rise, increasing over 70% over the last five years.

In 2007, the Premier of Ontario led a business mission of more than 100 Ontarians in order to strengthen the ties between Ontario and India. More than 87 Ontario companies, universities and other organizations were part of the mission. The mission focused on infrastructure, research and innovation, financial services, cultural industries and education.
