In June last year, India Vice-President of Lockheed Martin, William Blair, said that Lockheed Martin exported nearly USD 650 million worth of defence products from India to the US.

“…We already have two joint ventures with TATA in India for over a decade now. We are engaged in supply chains with hundreds of suppliers and we have already exported nearly USD 650 million worth of defence products from India to the US,” Blair said. (ANI)
