Anticipating a wider cooperation with India in space and defence, the US is working out a new India-specific export control regime to ease restrictions on export of hi-tech equipment.
Such an export control regime, which would also address the concerns of New Delhi, was expected to be in place before the November visit of President Barack Obama to India, a top State Department official said. The new policy will also remove restrictions on export of hi-tech equipment and weapon sales to India.“Another India-specific review is underway”, Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Robert Blake said.
