New Delhi, An Indian state-owned defense company has exported ammunition and explosives to Israel, aligning with ongoing military engagements in the region.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Munitions India Ltd (MIL), a public sector enterprise under the Indian Ministry of Defence, was cited by The Wire for exporting products to Israel as recently as January 2024. MIL is involved in the production, testing, R and D, and marketing of a broad array of ammunition and explosives catering to the army, navy, air force, and para-military forces.
The Wire reported that MIL applied on April 18, 2024, to export the same products under a repeat order from Israel, with approval currently pending from licensing authorities. This follows earlier news of the Adani group’s drone exports to Israel, highlighting ongoing defense trade between India and Israel.
