India, Brazil ink deal to collaborate on submarine maintenance
“The MOU will enhance life-cycle support, enable experience sharing in maintenance, logistics and training, and strengthen cooperation between government agencies and industry of both nations,” the Indian Navy said in a statement.
The agreement involves the naval forces of both countries along with an Indian defense shipyard, and it was formalized during the Indian Naval Chief Admiral Dinesh Kumar Tripathi’s ongoing visit to Brazil. During his stay, he is scheduled to meet with the country’s senior defense leadership, including its defense minister and top military commanders, to discuss avenues for deepening bilateral security engagement.
Recent months have seen the two BRICS nations intensify their defense cooperation. Reports indicate that India’s defense minister previously held discussions with Brazil’s vice president and defense minister in New Delhi, reflecting the growing strategic dialogue between the partners.
Earlier in the year, a session of the Joint Defense Committee convened in Brasília to explore joint production prospects, the expansion of military training programs, and ways to collaborate on regional security matters.
India, which aims to field more than 200 naval vessels by 2035—with projections suggesting the number could approach 230 by 2037—has been urging trusted international defense companies to work with domestic manufacturers as part of its broader push to advance indigenous military production under national industrial initiatives.
