India continued to supply arms to Israel despite the substantial risk they could be used in Israel's ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, according to a new investigation by Amnesty International.
The report, titled 'Made in India: The Supply of Weapons and Ammunition to Israel', documents India's partnership with the Israeli defence sector, using shipment-level trade data to reveal how Indian weapons, ammunition, parts and components have been shipped to large Israeli companies that supply the Israeli military.
Our research reveals India’s continuing support to the Israeli military and defence sector despite the genocide in Gaza, which has been broadcast worldwide on an almost daily basis for years.
Weapons, ammunition, parts and components shipped from India to Israel since 7 October 2023.
Amnesty International investigators analyzed 2,596 shipments of weapons, ammunition, parts and components from India to Israel since 7 October 2023. Among them, Indian companies supplied at least 390,516 small arms parts for military grade weapons, 564,970 parts of explosive ordnance, and 298 components of military vehicles to large Israeli companies that are direct suppliers to the Israeli military. The organization systematically excluded data shipments that may have been destined for civilian use and also excluded weapons, parts and ammunition likely used for anti-missile defence technology.
Amnesty International identified exports using HS Code 93+ (broad category including arms and ammunition) and HS Code 8710+ (armoured fighting vehicles and parts). Specific items included machine gun components, 155mm artillery shells, explosive warheads for Skystriker loitering munition, and armoured vehicle components.
Amnesty International's Secretary General Agnès Callamard said: "India manufactures and supplies arms transferred to Israel through its ownership and control over key supplier companies." She added: "The Indian government must immediately stop authorizing exports of weapons, ammunition and parts to Israel."
The report highlights critical structural failures in India's national legal framework around arms transfers, including lack of explicit requirement for human rights due diligence and insufficient transparency. India abstained in the vote for the adoption of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) in April 2013 and has not signed or acceded to the ATT since then.
Companies named in the report include PLR Systems Private Limited (a joint venture between Adani Defence & Aerospace and Israel Weapon Industries), Indo MIM Private Limited, Kalyani Systems Private Limited (a subsidiary of Bharat Forge), state-owned Munitions India Limited, and Alpha Elsec Defence & Aerospace Systems Private Limited (a joint venture between Alpha Design Technologies and Elbit Systems). Amnesty International wrote to the State of India and the nine companies named in the report in June and July 2026, but no response had been received at the time of publication.
Amnesty International believes that some Indian companies could risk complicity with crimes under international law through their business relationship with Israeli companies that directly supply the Israeli military.
