India, UK ink $468mn deal for supply of lightweight missiles
Hindustan Times Chandigarh
|October 10, 2025
The deal paves the way for a broader complex weapons partnership between the UK and India.
Britain announced on Thursday it had concluded a £350-million ($468 million) deal with India to supply lightweight multirole missile (LMM) systems to the Indian Army as part of efforts to forge a broader complex weapons partnership.
The development came during UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's visit to Mumbai for a meeting with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi, and defence and security cooperation was a key part of their discussions. The two leaders met as a UK carrier strike group participated in the Konkan 2025 exercise with the Indian Navy in the waters off the country’s western coast.
