The shared concerns over China's assertive actions in the Indo-Pacific and Indian Ocean Region (IOR) are a key factor driving the collaboration. The defence ties are expected to deepen through joint exercises and security initiatives, including efforts to monitor Chinese submarine activity in the IOR, TOI reported.
A senior defence official told The Times of India that Trump might push for a more pronounced military aspect to the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad), a move India has so far approached with caution.
The official also said India’s interest in co-production of defence technology, rather than relying solely on direct purchases.
For instance, negotiations for manufacturing GE-F414 engines for Tejas Mark-II jets are underway, with an anticipated 80% transfer of technology for around $1 billion. «The Trump administration will not be an impediment for such projects, but may want to extract a higher price for high-end tech transfer,» the official told TOI.
