  "summary": "India and the UK are set to ink an Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) to develop maritime electric propulsion systems for four Landing Platform Docks (LPDs) for the Indian Navy. This collaboration, which includes GE Vernova and Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd, aims to establish India's first maritime Land-Based Testing Facility to support the development of the Integrated Full Electric Propulsion (IFEP) system. As part of this agreement, the UK will also supply British Lightweight Multirole Missiles (LMMs) to the Indian Army, potentially hundreds of them, as part of a broader modernization and defense cooperation program.",
