The United States has cleared a proposal to supply critical military hardware and logistic support assets worth $131 million to India, in line with the strategic ties between the two countries.

The Defence Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) that operates under the Pentagon has delivered the required certification for the military supplies and notified the US Congress of the possible sale, according to an American readout.

The approval for the supplies came amid the Donald Trump administration pushing New Delhi to increase its military procurement from the US.

The proposed supplies through the “foreign military sale” route are linked to the India-US cooperation under the framework of the Indo-Pacific Maritime Domain Awareness programme.

The DSCA’s mission is to advance US national security and foreign policy interests by building the capacity of foreign security forces to respond to shared challenges.
