One of the results of the meetings between U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter and India’s Defense Minister Manohar Parrikar earlier this month was that the U.S. has updated its policy on gas-turbine engine technology transfer to India to expand cooperation in production and design of sensitive jet engine components.
Carter said he and Parrikar discussed the progress that has been made towards cooperation on jet engines, and aircraft carrier design and construction, as well as opportunities to collaborate on additional projects of interest, which will also further Prime Minister Modi‘s Make in India policy, reports Economic Times.
Carter and Parrikar look forward to U.S. companies working with their Indian counterparts to submit transfer requests that will benefit from this updated policy, said a joint statement issued after a meeting between two leaders at the Pentagon.
