In recent years, Indian companies have expressed significant interest in investing in Bulgaria in sectors such as agriculture, defense, pharmaceutical industry, engineering, clinical research, and tourism. To activate bilateral cooperation, a meeting of the Bulgarian Indian Intergovernmental Commission for Economic Cooperation is planned for the beginning of 2025.

There is good potential in sectors in which bilateral trade can be pushed up by high-value-added products. IT products (Bulgaria is one of the second best outsourcing destinations in Europe), agricultural and food products (Bulgaria ranks first in the world in the production of lavender and is the third largest exporter of sunflower seeds worldwide), perfumery and cosmetics, medicines, engineering goods, high-tech machinery and equipment, auto components industry (eight of every ten cars in Europe are equipped with some parts produced in Bulgaria).

The Bulgarian government strongly supports Indian investments in Bulgaria. Under the Investment Promotion Act, various benefits for foreign investors are provided as corporate tax or VAT exemptions, institutional and financial support for priority investment projects, and tailored administrative procedures. Ease of doing business in Bulgaria is supported by simple registration procedures and equal treatment of Bulgarian and foreign investments in the country.
