Germany Awaits Indian Approvals to Sign Submarine Partnership and Expects India-EU FTA by 2026
Germany is prepared to sign a submarine partnership with India once Indian authorities complete the necessary approvals, emphasizing technology transfer and domestic production rather than a simple sale. The deal, involving German firm Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems, aims to benefit India's maritime ecosystem and broader defence cooperation. Additionally, Germany expects the India-EU Free Trade Agreement to be signed by the end of 2026, potentially doubling trade between India and the EU within five years, following ratification by both parliaments.
