India publishes data about its position as a defence exporter MPI (with data from a Government of India press release)

August 5, 2015 by Julian Nettlefold

29 Jul 15. The Indian government has released details about its current initiatives to drive defence exports, as well as the names of countries that imported military equipment from India during 2014-2015. This is the first time that such information has been released by the government, perhaps in part to increase awareness about the country’s growing defence export push. According to the press release, the Indian government has taken several steps to encourage defence exports, with some of the major initiatives being:indcoast

  • Formulation of a Defence Export Strategy outlining the policy and procedural initiatives to be taken by the Government.
  • Constitution of a Defence Export Steering Committee (DESC) to deliberate and decide policy and procedural issues related to defence exports.
  • Simplification and increased transparency of the SOP for issue of no-objection certificates (NOC) to exporters.
  • Establishment of an internet-based process for NOC application filing and processing, in order to speed the process and avoid procedural delays.

Based on data below, it can be inferred that countries in South and Southeast Asia are the largest importers of major defence items from India. Even within the region, India has seen the most success from the export of helicopters and patrol vessels. It is certain that this is the market most promising to India. News reports from July have suggested that Myanmar is interested in procuring offshore patrol vessels (OPV) from India but this has been hindered due to international sanctions. Given that the sanctions regime on Myanmar is slowing easing, it can only be assumed that India is keen to capitalise on the new market. Outside of this region, India appears to have had some success in supplying spare parts for radar systems and aircraft.
