I imagine bilateral trade is primarily air cargo between India and Russia. There's a lot of unfriendly geography in between.

This one is the route for most trades and for smaller and lightier air cargo is used.

There is also a proposed sea route between the ports of Chennai and Vladivostok.

I don't think these bottlenecks can impact the trade between India and Russia. They'll be played like ants if they will!

I'd expect most of whatever starts out on the "standard route" to end up in those nearer EU countries. That's just from a naive trade theory perspective, though.

This won't be forever. Russia and India are planning a train+road route to Oran and from there goods will be shipped to Mumbai port. (See the red line)
