India has authorized and dispatched more than 2,596 shipments of weapons, ammunition, and military components to Israel since October 2023, according to a comprehensive report published by Amnesty International on July 30, 2026. The findings, which cover exports through November 30, 2025, detail a substantial flow of military hardware from Indian state-owned and private companies to major Israeli defense firms supplying the Israeli military, raising significant concerns under international law.

The report, titled "Made in India: The Supply of Weapons and Ammunition to Israel," documents shipments containing at least 564,970 parts of explosive ordnance such as drone warheads and artillery shell casings, 390,516 small arms components, and 298 military vehicle parts.

Recipient companies named include Elbit Systems, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, and Israel Weapon Industries.
