NEW DELHI: India and the UK have inked a 'statement of intent' (SoI) on cooperation in joint design, development and production of electric propulsion systems for Indian Navy warships . The signing of the pact at Portsmouth was part of the third joint working group meeting of the electric propulsion capability partnership, symbolising the commitment to promote indigenous development of niche technologies, defence ministry said Friday. The SoI would serve as a broader framework for electric propulsion of future naval ships .
