India canceled contract with Turkish shipbuilding companies
India has canceled a $1.5-2 billion deal with Turkish shipbuilding companies to supply 5 ships to the navy. This may be due to Turkey's cooperation with Pakistan and its position against India on the Kashmir issue.
India's Hindustan Shipyard Limited has canceled an agreement with Turkish companies that was supposed to participate in the construction of 5 auxiliary ships for the navy. This is reported by India Today.
It is noted that this decision was taken against the background of Turkey's cooperation with Pakistan and its position against India on the Kashmir issue. Now India wants to build the ships independently.
The deal, signed in August 2023, was valued at $1.5-2 billion and provided for the supply of five fleet support ships to the Indian Navy from mid-2027.
These ships with a water capacity of more than 40,000 tons are said to play a crucial role in expanding the capabilities of the Indian Navy.
