NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India and Russia announced a joint venture to build Russian Kamov helicopters in India after summit talks on Saturday between President Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Indian military officials have said the plan is to build at least 200 helicopters the defence forces need, and is part of Modi's drive to build a defence industrial base in India.
The two sides signed the pact in seaside state of Goa, on the sidelines of a BRICS summit of emerging nations.
