After being welcomed on the red carpet, she was given a guard of honour. After this his convoy left from the airport. Putin will stay at Maurya Sheraton Hotel in Delhi.
This will be Putin’s first personal participation in a BRICS summit being held outside Russia since the start of the Ukraine war in February 2022.
There will be a meeting between Prime Minister Modi and Putin before the BRICS Summit. Many defense deals including Su-57 fighter jet and updated BrahMos can be discussed.
Russia has already offered to produce the aircraft in India and share the necessary technology along with the sale of the aircraft to India.
India wants that from this deal it should get such technology, which can be used in making indigenous fighter aircraft.
Earlier, Russia’s second Il-96 special flight has reached Delhi with diplomats. First Deputy PM Denis Manturov has also reached India.
Before Putin’s visit to India, 3 Russian transport planes also arrived at Noida International Airport on Thursday. These also include Russia’s heavy military transport aircraft IL-76.
His armored car arrived before Putin
The convoy of two big world leaders, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, attending the BRICS Summit will be the largest. On Thursday, Putin’s convoy and Aurus Senate armored limousine also reached India via 3 Russian transport aircraft at Jewar Airport.
The ‘Flying Kremlin’ IL-96-300PU aircraft accompanying Putin to India is a mobile presidential command centre. FSO will handle Putin’s internal security, while Indian agencies will maintain external security.
There will be separate testing of the food given to them. Russia will use its cooks.
Talk on remaining consignment and maintenance of S-400 also
India can talk to Russia on issues related to the supply and maintenance of the remaining consignment of S-400. Apart from this, there can also be talk on upgrading SU-30MKI fighter planes. Under the ‘Super Sukhoi’ plan, better radar and new weapons will be installed in them.
Regarding BrahMos, both the countries are preparing to work together on its new and lighter version. BrahMos-NG is important in this. It will be lighter than the existing BrahMos and can also be fired from fighter planes like Tejas.
Focus on nuclear power after defense
Apart from defence, there can also be talks between India and Russia in the field of nuclear power. Russian government company Rosatom is working on the Kudankulam nuclear power plant in India. Now there can also be discussion on setting up new nuclear power plants using Russian technology in India.
Both countries can also explore possibilities of working together in building small-sized nuclear reactors. These reactors are smaller than large nuclear power plants.
Efforts to increase business in rupees and rubles
India and Russia want to increase trade in rupees and rubles instead of dollars. With this, payments between the two countries will be possible in their respective currencies.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov had said that Russia is not trying to remove the dollar, but is ready for easier methods of payment. He said that about 90% of Russia’s trade with BRICS countries is being done in local currency.
Both the countries have also deposited each other’s currency. Now talks can be held on using this money in business and investment and making payments in rupees and rubles easier.
Ways to reach Russia will be easy
Both countries can also talk about expanding the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) and Chennai-Vladivostok sea route to increase trade.
INSTC connects India to Russia via Iran. At the same time, the time to deliver goods between India and the eastern part of Russia through Chennai-Vladivostok sea route can be reduced from about 40 days to 20-22 days.
