An India-Russia joint venture that manufactures nuclear capable supersonic cruise missiles is optimistic about bagging orders worth $5 billion (£4.4 billion) by 2025, its chairman said on Tuesday (18), having signed its first export deal of $375 million (£332.3 million) this year with the Philippines.
BrahMos Aerospace is in talks with Southeast nations such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam for new orders, chairman Atul D Rane told Reuters partner ANI on Tuesday.
The joint venture, with a 50.5 per cent Indian and 49.5 per cent Russian partnership, fits into Indian prime minister Narendra Modi’s flagship ‘Make in India’ programme.
India has made Russian MiG fighter planes and Su-30 jets under licence and the two old allies have collaborated to make BrahMos missiles in India.
Russia has traditionally been India’s main arms supplier.
