On August 22, 2024, the Department of Defense (DoD), US and the Ministry of Defence of the Government of India (IN MoD) entered into a bilateral, non-binding Security of Supply Arrangement (SOSA).

Through this SOSA, the United States and India agree to provide reciprocal priority support for goods and services that promote national defense.

The Arrangement will enable both countries to acquire the industrial resources they need from one another to resolve unanticipated supply chain disruptions to meet national security needs.

With an expanding global supply chain for DOD, SOSAs are an important mechanism for DoD to strengthen interoperability with U.S. defense trade partners.

India is the eighteenth SOSA partner of the U.S.

Other SOSA partners include Australia, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
