India and Germany explore Joint Defence Production

Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday pitched for opportunities in the defence production sector, including possibilities for German investments in the two defence industrial corridors in Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, during his meeting with his German counterpart Boris Pistorius.

The two ministers reviewed the ongoing bilateral defence cooperation activities and explored ways to enhance the collaboration, particularly defence industrial partnership.

Singh highlighted the opportunities that have opened up in the defence production sector, according to a ministry statement. He suggested that India's defence industry could participate in the supply chains of German defence industry and add value to the ecosystem, it said.
