Why it mattersThis structure-a JV-style technology co-development and commercialisation partnership between an Indian defence PSU-linked OEM and a US defence prime-signals India's move up the global defence value chain and navigates US ITAR/export control frameworks through the strategic alliance model rather than M&A.
