MoD denies reports of pausing defence purchases with US

Amid media reports claiming India may have paused talks related to new defence purchases with the US, defence ministry sourees Friday rejected the suggestion as “false and fabricated”.

It is clarified that the various cases of procurement are “being progressed as per the extant procedures”, they said.

A report in an international media outlet which claimed that India might have put on hold its plans for new defence-related purchases, came amid growing tensions between New Delhi and Washington over tariff imposition by the US. Last week, US President Donald Trump had announced 25 per cent reciprocal tariffs on India that came into effect from August 7.
