Abstract:

During Vladimir Putin’s visit to India on 15-16 October 2016, a series of documents on cooperation in the military-technological and energy fields was signed.

Two intergovernmental agreements provide for the purchase by India of four 11356-type frigates and four S-400 anti-aircraft missile battalions, and an agreement between Rosoboroneksport and Viertoloty Rossii and the Indian company HAL is expected to create a joint company to produce Ka-226T helicopters in India. The value of these agreements is estimated at US$6-9 billion.

In the energy field, a consortium which includes Rosneft has acquired the Indian petroleum company Essar Oil, which owns the second-largest refinery in India. In addition, Rosneft agreed to sell the Indian State concern ONGC Videsh an 11% stake in the Russian oil company Vankorneft.
