India to splash £10 billion on submarines and warships after receiving £1.6 billion in UK aid
‘The country, which has received £1.6billion in aid from Britain in the past eight years, has unveiled a massive military spending plan, according to reports.
India is said to be throwing cash at a fleet of new warships and submarines – including building seven frigates at a cost of £5.2billion and a further £5.2billion on six nuclear-powered submarines.
The military plans come shortly after the successful launch of a rocket at an estimated cost of £250million.
Three years ago, the international development secretary Justine Greening announced the UK will stop all financial aid to India from 2015.’
