November 16, 2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the transfer of the Project 11430 aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya to the Indian Navy. Vikramaditya became the flagship of India’s Navy.

For decades, Russia was and remains one of India’s key partners, which has played a crucial role in the formation and strengthening of its national Naval Forces. And not just the Navy, militarytechnical cooperation between Russia and India is an example of partnership with a number of completed and ongoing joint projects for all services of the Indian Armed Forces.

Today Rosoboronexport offers new points of cooperation within the joint development and production of hightech products on the premises of Indian enterprises. Rosoboronexport expects to work extensively with stateowned and private enterprises of the Indian defence industry with a view to expanding the scope of industrial partnership between Russia and India in accordance with the requirements of India’s flagship programs ‘Make in India’ and ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’.

Besides, Rosoboronexport began working with Indian enterprises under conditions similar to the requirements of the aforementioned programmes long before their announcement. This is another fact that cannot be ignored.
