this whole reply require new topic, so if you would like open one for consideration of turkish approach to the south asian countries and multilateral relations in order to not derailing this specific topic.There is whole world beyond politics.
(non-political) turks and indians for most part get along quite well and we have lot of things to participate and improve relations on.
Lot of things need not be through a prism of any another country. Both countries are secular democratic republics and that should ideally be a shared underlying basis for relations in the long term.
Coming to this deal (which I welcome wholeheartedly) specifically on underlying forces driving it past the seemingly more visible political issues:
India - Turkey two way goods trade will soon be 10 billion yearly, and its heavily in favour of India....(direction split in 2018 was like 7.5 billion vs 1.1 billion).
This is far larger trade (done by Turkey) than with any other country in the subcontinent. This gives broader sentiment of the wider Turkish population and country dynamic w.r.t India IMO.
Overall Turkey buys from India almost 10 times more than what it buys from Pakistan and Bangladesh combined (though India outnumbers by 3.5 times by population these two-combined)

Thus Turkey has lot of pent-up natural equilibrium-driven counter-pressure (like found in nearly any trade deficit/surplus situation vis a vis currency movements/pressures) for lot of its goods and services in Indian market if it harnesses this....especially as India both continues to grow fast and also chooses to diversify away from its import reliance on China.
So its no surprise that Turkish shipyard could bid competitively.
That too done under pretty loggerhead political admins (Erdogan and Modi) and geopolitical climate at current juncture....so it will be good to shup up lot of unreasonable naysayers (typical online trolls and hothead media commentators etc).
This all forms basis for improving relations long term sustainably too.
i.e Turkey should do things like research where it is competitive with China on, and promote those products in India as it has trade deficit with India, whereas India has trade deficit with China etc....so it is a positive pressure it can harness+divert for mutual benefit. Similar can be done for services and tourism and cultural exchange overall too.
India and Turkey have lot of engineering and high-tech areas to cooperate on too. Back in 2009, India launched a satellite for ITU (Istanbul Technical university) for example at very competitive cost as just one example....becoming the first satellite launched by a turkish university.

Turkey-made auxiliary ship project for India includes tech transfer
Aproject for Turkish shipbuilders to build five fleet support vessels for the Indian Navy will include technology transfer, local media said Tuesday, citing sources familiar with the subject.
Turkey’s TAIS, a consortium initially founded by the owners of the top five leading shipyards of Turkey to offer expert and innovative solutions in naval shipbuilding, announced back in June 2019 that it won a $2.3 billion (TL 16 billion) tender to build five 45,000-ton fleet support ships. The signing of the contract, however, was postponed due to several political or financial reasons.
As part of the project, the value of which was stated as between $1.5 billion to $2 billion by the Indian media, Visakhapatnam-based Hindustan Shipyard Limited (HSL) is expecting an order from the Indian Navy by year-end for the building of the vessels and will see technology transfer from Turkey’s Anadolu Shipyard (ADIK), part of the TAIS consortium, the Hindustan Times reported Tuesday.
“The agreement with the Turkish consortium will kick in after HSL gets an order from the Indian Navy. If all goes well, that could happen by October 2021. Several Indian vendors will also be involved in the project,” someone with knowledge of the issue was cited in the report who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The HSL earlier proposed to the Indian Navy to build the fleet support ships by partnering with South Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), but the proposal received by that company was rejected over cost disputes.
The first support vessel to be built in the HSL is expected to be delivered to the country’s navy within four years after a green light was given by the authorities for the construction. The rest is set to be delivered at 10- to 12-month intervals.
The 230-meter (755-foot) ships with a displacement of 45,000 tons can carry fuel and other supplies for warships.
Another person speaking to the Indian news site said: “Turkey’s shipyards are fully booked for a long time and there is nothing to lose by transferring technology and having all the vessels built in India. Turkish engineers will come to India to assist with the project,” explaining why the construction is not beginning in Turkey.
The TAIS consortium, along with the ADIK, where eight landing ships were built for the Turkish Naval Forces along with the TCG Bayraktar, an amphibious tank landing ship designed to carry up to 20 tanks at once, and TCG Sancaktar, a single boat and displacement type vessel, also includes Sedef Shipyard and Sefine Shipyard.
In Sedef Shipyard, the construction of Turkey’s first landing helicopter dock (LHD) type amphibious assault ship, TCG Anadolu, continues, while, Sefine Shipyard is where the fleet replenishment vessel (DIMDEG) for the naval forces is under construction.
Besides, Anadolu Shipyard, the leading company in the TAIS, is also building two cadet training ships for Qatar, which were launched respectively on Oct. 8 and Dec. 25, 2020.

ATAK deal was 1,5 b usd, though I haven't heard anything of it. But yes it's definitely among top 3.Help me out, is this the largest export deal in the defence industry? Milgem export to Pakistan was similar ish in value?
Can we put together a top 5 of export deals?
