The UK-India Business Council (UKIBC) has stated an intention to support efforts towards bilateral co-operation on submarines and aircraft carriers with the aim to meet future capability requirements in the Indian Navy (IN).
The UKIBC’s 2021 advocacy report – published on 12 April – said the council intends to collaborate with private-sector and state-owned defence shipyards in India during the coming year to pursue such opportunities.

“We will engage with all private and DPSU [defence public sector undertakings] shipyards, with efforts focused on [the] design and construction of future warships and submarines, electric propulsion, indigenous carrier development, and weapons and sensors,” said the report.
