NEW DELHI (World News) - U.S. companies are poised to sign defense deals totaling $ 8 billion with India, the U.S. Ambassador Nancy Powell said on Friday.


She did not specify a timeframe when the deals would be signed.

India is one of the world's largest arms importers and plans to spend close to about $ 100 billion over the next 10 years to upgrade its largely Soviet-era equipment.

U.S. companies like Boeing Co, Lockheed Martin Corp and Raytheon Co are some of the contractors looking to grab a share of India's planned military spending.
