NEW DELHI (Reuters) – India will supply the BrahMos cruise missile system and the Astra air-to-air missile to Indonesia, an Indian government official said on Tuesday.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is currently on his first trip to the Southeast Asian nation since 2023.
According to Indian media, New Delhi and Jakarta are expected to sign several major strategic, defence and economic pacts, with cooperation spanning missile systems, critical minerals, and maritime infrastructure.
Quoting sources, NDTV said Indonesia showed interest in importing Astra air-to-air missiles as India seemed ready to supplying additional BrahMos missile batteries.
Sources said India would also invest in the manufacturing of steel, nickel and rare earth permanent magnets in Indonesia to strengthen the critical mineral supply chain.
