Zeitenwende Meets Atmanirbhar: Co-Creating the Future of Indo-German Defense
Indo-German defense ties are at a strategic inflection point. As Germany embraces Zeitenwende and India pursues Atmanirbhar Bharat, this report argues for shifting from transactional arms sales to deep industrial co-creation. It maps a decade-long strategy (2025–2035) to fuse German engineering with Indian manufacturing scale. Key recommendations include a $50M joint innovation fund, fast-tracked export controls (“Green Lists”), and integrating MSMEs into global supply chains. The goal: a resilient partnership building strategic autonomy for both nations.
