India, France focus on co-design, co-development in defence sphere during Modi-Macron talks

Paris/New Delhi, May 5 (UNI) A day after a major French defence company said it is withdrawing from India’s P-75 India (P-75I) project for building submarines for the Indian Navy, India and France agreed “to find creative ways for France’s deeper involvement” in India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat efforts, a joint statement said after talks between PM Modi and President Macron.
French defence major Naval Group said on Tuesday that it is unable to participate in the P-75 India project under which six conventional submarines are to be built in India for the Indian Navy due to conditions mentioned in the request for proposal (RFP) related to air independent propulsion (AIP) system, a report said.
Asked about the report and also whether acquisition of more Rafales had been discussed during the talks between PM Modi and President Macron, Foreign Secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra said that India and France are very strong strategic partners and have also a very strong defence partnership.
