India eyes mega defence deals worth Rs 1.5 lakh crore before March 31
Sunday, 12 January 2025 India is set to finalize four major defense deals worth over Rs 1.5 lakh crore, including contracts with France for 26 Rafale-Marine fighters and three Scorpene submarines. The deals also cover 156 Prachand light combat helicopters and 307 advanced towed artillery gun systems, significantly enhancing India's military capabilities.
French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Indonesia with First Lady Brigitte following the viral ‘slap-gate’ moment in Vietnam, which he downplayed as playful “horsing around.” The visit marks the 75th anniversary of France-Indonesia diplomatic ties. Macron was welcomed with a grand military parade and met President Prabowo Subianto to discuss deepening cooperation in defense, energy, and digitization. Talks reportedly include Indonesia’s interest in procuring French-made Rafale fighter jets and Scorpene submarines as strategic ties between the two nations grow stronger.
