Artemis Accords: India’s Policy Shift

Consultant, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Gp Capt Ajey Lele’s article ‘Artemis Accords: India’s Policy Shift’ has been published in Society for the Study of Peace and Conflict (SSPC) on 07 July 2023.

India has joined the Artemis Accords with open eyes. For years, India has managed to sail through the rough waters of sanctions and export control challenges. In 2005, the Indo-US nuclear deal became a reality despite the ‘existence’ of the disarmament ayatollahs. For a long time, India has been able to balance their relations with Russia and the US. Possibly, India feels that as an insider, they would be able to restrict the US from becoming the sole gatekeeper to decide on the future of space, says Gp Capt Lele.
