This report examines whether India can sustain drone warfare, not merely whether it can acquire drones.

This report examines India’s foreign and security policy amid unprecedented geopolitical volatility in 2025. It analyzes India’s navigation of regional turbulence, recalibration of its technology strategy, defense reforms, and potential for cascading domestic reforms amid a deteriorating strategic environment.

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.
