Can India turn wartime ammo sales into lasting European defence ties?

India has become the third-largest arms exporter to Europe under the "ReArm Europe" initiative, largely due to a surge in demand for ammunition since the outbreak of the Ukraine-Russia war. This shift has been driven by European countries seeking to stockpile supplies in anticipation of potential future conflicts. The development is significant for India's defence sector, as it seeks to establish a lasting presence in Europe's market. However, analysts warn that securing a lasting foothold will require more than just wartime sales.

Why it matters

India's emergence as a major exporter of ammunition and other weapons to Europe since the Ukraine-Russia war has boosted its defence industry. This development could lead to lasting European defence ties and increased exports for India.
