New Delhi: India and the Czech Republic are looking to expand defence industrial cooperation, with a focus on technology collaboration, manufacturing capabilities and stronger industrial partnerships. The development provides a wider context for growing cooperation between Indian and Czech companies in the defence manufacturing sector.
India and the Czech Republic have been exploring opportunities to strengthen defence industrial relations through technology sharing, joint production, research and development, and capacity building. The India-Czech Joint Defence Committee provides a platform for discussions on existing cooperation and potential areas for further engagement.
VTDS and DEUS Automation Partnership
Against this backdrop, the technology partnership between Vijayan Trishul Defence Solutions (VTDS) and DEUS Automation a.s., a sister company of the Czech STV Group, highlights the growing role of industrial collaboration in strengthening India's domestic defence manufacturing capabilities.
Industry-level ties have also picked up. In August, Vijayan Trishul Defence Solutions (VTDS), which holds a Home Ministry licence to manufacture small arms and ammunition, signed a technology partnership with DEUS Automation, a sister company of the Czech STV Group, under which the Czech firm will supply technology to produce small-calibre ammunition in India.
The partnership brings together VTDS's domestic manufacturing ambitions and DEUS Automation's technological expertise, supporting efforts to develop local production capabilities and strengthen industrial cooperation between the two countries.

Expanding India-Czech Defence Cooperation
As India continues to strengthen its domestic defence production capabilities, international technology partnerships can help build local manufacturing expertise and expand industrial capacity.
The VTDS-DEUS Automation partnership illustrates how collaboration between companies can complement broader bilateral efforts to deepen defence industrial relations and promote technological cooperation between India and the Czech Republic.
