Sources close to the Indian defence industry have revealed to Sputnik that an agreement for in-country maintenance and repair of the S-400 air defence systems is nearing completion. This agreement will reportedly involve a joint venture between an Indian company and the S-400 manufacturer. The foreign partner will provide crucial technical assistance to the Indian company and aid in establishing the necessary infrastructure for local maintenance.
With S-400 squadrons deployed across India, the plan foresees the creation of potentially two dedicated maintenance centres within the country. This localized approach will ensure swift response times and streamlined maintenance procedures.
The second phase of the agreement reportedly involves laying the groundwork for the production of essential S-400 parts within India. This signifies India’s long-term vision for self-reliance in maintaining and potentially even developing its advanced air defence systems.
