Larsen & Toubro and the Defence and Security Division of Europe's EADS will form a JV to make defence electronics in India.
The JV will focus on design and development of electronic warfare, radar, military avionics and mobile systems for military applications for India and rest of the world.
The JV is subject to approval by the Indian government.
"The Indian Defence and Security market is growing fast and we want to grow with it," Stefan Zoller, Chief Executive of EADS Defence & Security said in the statement.
India is among the largest buyers of defence equipment as it plans to spend more than $30 billion over the next five years to modernise its largely Soviet-era weapon systems, and is also launching its first military spy satellite next year.
