Indonesia will expand its fleet of Indian-made BrahMos missiles, procure Astra BVRAAMs for its Su-30 fighter aircraft, jointly develop the strategic Sabang Port, and launch ION, a digital commerce network based on India’s ONDC platform.

India will also support Indonesia’s Election Commission in developing customised Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) for the country’s 2029 general elections.

Both countries agreed to integrate UPI for seamless cross-border digital payments and signed an MoU on steel, nickel and rare earth minerals to strengthen critical supply chains.
