Relax people it is just economic relationship nothing else , we already buy drones from the best drone maker in Asia Israel , if we upgrade ourselves we will buy American not downgrade ourselves by buying Turkish drones.
It will be an insult to Indian military if India buys Turkish drones but Modi is too stupid so to fingers crossed.

Economic windfall eyed from Erdogan's India visit

The Turkish business world is expecting stronger economic ties, more direct investments, and solutions to existing problems from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s visit to India on Sunday and Monday, according to analysts and Turkish officials.

Canan Celebioglu, head of the Turkey-India Business Council of Turkey’s Foreign Economic Relations Board (DEIK), told Anadolu Agency on Saturday that the trade balance between the two countries, which favors India, must become sustainable for Turkey’s benefit as well.

“The share of bilateral trade is around 2 percent of Turkey’s $350 billion foreign trade volume. This figure is below one percent of India’s total trade volume, which is almost $700 billion. It shows that we are quite below the current potential,” she said.

Celebioglu noted that India, which is on the way to becoming the largest market in Asia, stands among the world’s top 10 economies in terms of both GDP and purchasing power parity rankings with its young 1.3 billion population, rapid growing middle class, fast urbanization, and economic transformation.

“The needs of India have to be analyzed correctly. If we examine its top 25 trading partners, I believe that Turkey could take over the position of Thailand, Malaysia, South Africa, or Australia,” she said, adding:

“Turkish companies can become a significant supplier to India by establishing local partnerships, especially in the fields of agriculture, livestock, food products, the defense industry, petrochemicals, construction materials, furniture, and glass products.”

"Turkish companies can stand out in the service sector, infrastructure, and superstructure areas. India may benefit from our experience in public-private partnership investment models in the field of civil aviation and healthcare,” she said.

Stressing the nascent state of the Indian tourism sector, Celebioglu said Turkish entrepreneurs could help write the same success story seen in the Mediterranean basin.

“More slots could be provided by the two countries’ officials for both Turkish and Indian airlines to stimulate tourism activities,” she added.

Despite the advantages offered by Indian markets, Celebioglu also pointed out challenges, saying:

“Practices in India vary from region to region. There are a lot of issues in foreign exchange and tax regulations plus limitations and protections in certain sectors for foreign capital flows.”

The business council head also said that the current trade agreements have to be updated, with a free trade agreement needed between Turkey and India.

‘Turkish companies must be in India’

Vural Cekinmez, Turkey’s commercial counsellor to India, said Turkish officials in New Delhi provide a wide range of support to Turkish companies wanting to enter the Indian market.

On Erdogan’s upcoming visit, Cekinmez said it would be one of the most comprehensive meetings in India in recent years.

“This visit will provide significant benefits for both the Turkish businesspeople who already have investments in India and those looking at the potential here,” Cekinmez said.

Cekinmez stated that the “Make in India” initiative, introduced by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, showed a solid resolve for boosting the country’s investment climate, cutting red tape, and attracting foreign investors with an extensive approach.

“Efforts to set up industrial corridors between major cities and the project to build 100 ‘smart cities’ have also made the country more attractive for doing business,” he said.

“In the beginning of the 1990s, India was only able to attract under $1 billion foreign direct investment. The country has gotten around $310 billion in foreign direct investment in 2000-2016 and become the world’s number three FDI destination,” Cekinmez said.

He said there are some 1,300 Japanese and 400 South Korean companies operating in India but only a few Turkish ones, adding:

“Thus, a Turkish community that can create synergy has not been established yet. The Turkish business cycle needs to be actively in India to do business in this country.”

Cekinmez also recommended that Turkish firms considering entering the Indian market get professional support from consultants to avoid difficulties.

“One of the biggest misunderstandings about India is that the country has a homogeneous market. Yet the Indian market is actually quite heterogeneous with multiculturalism, distinct consumption habits, varied regulations, and taxable provinces,” he said, adding:

“In this respect, it would be logical for our companies to enter the market by focusing on a specific region rather than expecting to operate in the entire Indian market in the first phase.”

According to the Turkish Statistical Institute, Turkey’s exports to India in 2016 totaled $650 million, while imports nearly $5.8 billion from India.

It is Pakistan and Turkey internal matter nothing to do with India. This whole drone thing is a fake news by Indian Media tell me the day India inks the deal.

It is just a possibility being raised.

Whenever a national leader with a business delegation visits another country, there is always a very strong possibility to see the highest commercial benefits being planned and perhaps implemented.

Turkish industry leaders are also here in India along with their president as guests to our country. Which means that something of mutual benefit will always work out. I don't know about defence technology, but commercially India has always been an open country.

The fact is Turkey knows that these drones will be used against Pakistan. Still offering them this, knowing that they can also be used in Kashmir. They need some scolding I guess.

China won't sell India a bullet even if they pay trillions. we will not do anything to please Indians.

ISLAMABAD:

Pakistan, which has for much of the past decade has sought to acquire unmanned aerial vehicles (UCAV), a platform used by the US in Pakistan despite numerous protests by the government, has started export of drone parts.


On Monday, officials at the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC), Kamra handed over the first batch of parts created for the Turkish UAV (ANKA) to the Turkish Aerospace Industry (TAI) in a ceremony held during the International Defence Exhibition and Fair (IDEF) at Istanbul, Turkey.
