The shared heritage of Iran and India dates back to before the Aryan migration, a time when these two nations lived side by side with a common language and religion. Trade relations existed between the 'Mohenjo-daro' and 'Harappa' civilizations in India and the Silk and Shahr-e Sukhteh civilizations in Iran. In the Sasanian era, these relations expanded alongside cultural and political ties with the northern and southern kingdoms of India. The subject of this research is the investigation of Sasanian economic relations with India and their outcomes. Using a descriptive-analytical method and a review of library resources, this study seeks to answer: what factors influenced these relations and what were the resulting consequences? The findings from the writing indicate that the competition of the Sasanians with Rome in trade between the West and the East on one hand, and the internal competitions of the northern and southern kingdoms of India on the other, brought Sasanian economic exchanges with the East, and especially India, to a golden age. The results of this led to the expansion of economic, cultural, and political relations of Muslims with India after the fall of the Sasanians.

Given that the Sasanian emperors possessed high power and stability, they were able to act powerfully in commercial matters with their neighbors, and during that period, based on existing documents and records, the commercial relations between Iran and India had expanded greatly, and the merchant ships of the two countries, through sea routes were in constant movement, bringing and transferring valuable and precious goods of India to the West.
Thapliyal, an Indian historian, believes that among foreign factors, Iranians have had the greatest and most lasting impact, and points out that due to the political dominance of the Sasanian government in the region, the expansion of commercial relations followed, and the people of India welcomed and used Iranian imports of food, clothing, and household items, which in turn brought about the cultural and economic influence of Iranians (Thapliyal, 1979: 166).
Economic relations between Iran and India in the Sasanian era (224 to 642 AD) 161 Excavations carried out in Siraf, Persian Gulf, indicate that during that time, the Sasanians possessed an advanced maritime commerce whose scope had expanded as far as Indonesia (Brown, 1984: 25).
With the expansion of sea routes from the sixth century and the competition between Rome and the Sasanians, it was the Sasanians who were victorious in this competition, holding a monopoly on trade between the West and the East, and the ports of the Persian Gulf became the center of commercial exchanges with India.
