This agreement highlights Naval Group and Nibe Group’s joint effort to reinforce their commitment in strengthening India’s self-reliance for its naval programs, under the flagship Atmanirbhar Bharat Initiative. With this agreement, both companies will cooperate on areas of expertise including underwater drones and their integration onboard submarines, future weapon-ready modular launching systems, as well as mine countermeasure systems and engineering.
With more than a decade of presence in India, Naval Group has consistently supported the Indian naval defense industry and established an extensive network of industrial partnerships. Drawing on this longstanding engagement, this new partnership with Nibe will leverage both companies’ extensive experience and expertise, further enhancing both their combined value proposition and technological offering in support of the Indian Navy.
“This agreement illustrates our shared commitment to develop sovereign, resilient, and future-ready naval capabilities in India and exemplifies our commitment to the Special Global Strategic Partnership shared between India and France,” said Marie-Laure Bourgeois, EVP, Sales and Marketing of Naval Group.
“Nibe’s strong expertise in delivering integrated defense solutions that power India’s strategic autonomy, backed by continued investment in the sector, will be an asset to the cooperation with Naval Group in order to provide the latest generation of naval technologies for the country,” said Ganesh Nibe, Chairman and Managing Director of Nibe Group.
