Russia and India are working on a deal to cooperate on shipbuilding and ship repair.
The inter-governmental talks were revealed by the Indian ambassador to Russia, Pawan Kapur, who visited Astrakhan in south-west Russia on Thursday.
Following a meeting with the governor of Astrakhan, Igor Babushkin, Kapur said: “I would like to note that I suggest that Astrakhan-based companies consider the possibility of using their competencies and ship personnel at our shipyards in India.”
