Germany’s defence minister Boris Pistorius arrived in India on Tuesday for a two-day visit.
Reports said that the top agenda of the visit is a $5.2bn deal that involves the manufacturing of six diesel submarines for the Indian Navy.
The submarines will be made in India, a major win for India’s campaign to boost local defence manufacturing.
The deal is expected to be announced at a time when Russia’s defence industry is struggling due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, prompting India to look for other partners to source military hardware for its armed forces.
