The jurisdiction covers the western states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Goa and the union territories ”Dadra and Nagar Haveli” and ”Daman and Diu”.  An area comprising of a whopping 173 million people. Promotion of Sweden is a central part of our activities and the Consulate General has an important role to develop a network with representatives from the Indian business sector, institutions and regional governments. Trade and investments are a specially prioritized area. 

It also focuses on spreading information on how Swedish innovations, technologies and services could benefit India.
