Amnesty Says 2,596 Indian Shipments Supplied Parts to Israeli Defence Firms

The rights group warns the transfers risk contributing to serious violations of international law, urging New Delhi to impose an immediate arms embargo.

Overview

  • Amnesty’s report says investigators tracked 2,596 consignments sent from India to Israel between 7 October 2023 and 30 November 2025 using shipment-level trade data.
  • The organisation quantifies at least 390,516 small-arms parts, 564,970 explosive-ordnance parts and 298 military-vehicle components among the exports it identified.
  • Named Indian suppliers include state-owned Munitions India Limited and private firms such as PLR Systems, Indo MIM, Kalyani Systems and Alpha Elsec, while major Israeli recipients named are Elbit Systems, IAI and Rafael.
  • Amnesty says its methodology was deliberately conservative, that it excluded items likely for civilian use or air-defence systems, and that it contacted nine companies and the Indian state but received no replies by publication.
  • The report frames the transfers as carrying a substantial risk of contributing to serious international-law violations, cites the ICJ’s provisional measures on Gaza, and notes India has deepened defence ties with Israel and has not joined the Arms Trade Treaty.
