Defense Expo 2020 has been creating quite a buzz in the capital city of Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow. The
expo which is ongoing between the 5 th and 9 th of February is one of Lucknow's first events of such a
massive scale as it is one of the biggest events that the city has ever hosted to date.
The expo has about 925 exhibitors showcasing their state-of-the-art military and defense
equipment. The theme for Defense Expo 2020 this year is ‘India: The Emerging Defence
Manufacturing Hub' and they aim at roping in International defense companies to set up their base
in India. The main focus of the Def Expo is to make India a manufacturing hub in defense.
Here is a summary of the top deals and announcements from the ongoing Defense Expo 2020:
1. Airbus and Adani Defense and Aerospace have signed a pact at the DefExpo 2020 to explore
the aircraft services market in India and South Asia. This fast-growing sector is expected to
generate an annual business of USD 6.3 billion by 2025 in the country.
2. French Defense and Engineering Company Thales is all set to ramp up its India operations
soon. This company is a big part of French military platforms which also includes the Rafale
fighter jets that India had ordered. They are planning to hire ‘thousands of engineers’ to
focus on technologies like Artificial Intelligence.
3. DRDO’s High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL) signed a contract with a
Russian company Rosoboronexport at the DefExpo2020. This will enable advancement in the
field of energetic materials and pyrotechnic technology for the development of an advanced
ignition system.
4. The most recent update is that the UK has now come forward after France for the joint
development of future fighter jet engines. This would spearhead India’s plan to achieve self-
reliance in combat engines. It is to be noted that this is a key technology area that only the
top defense production countries have expertise in.
5. The first batch of the Kamov military helicopter will be rolled out by 2025 from Tumkur. This
is a joint venture between Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. and two Russian defense companies
wherein India is procuring Kamov choppers to replace its Cheetah and Chetak choppers.
6. “India is targeting 20,000 crore investment in defense corridors over the next five years,”
says PM Modi. The bid is to raise defense exports to 35,000 crores in the same time frame.
7. The Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. (HAL), Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and Dynamatic
Technologies Ltd. (DTL) signed a memorandum of Understanding for manufacturing and
selling of IAIs Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) to potential Indian customers like Indian
Defense Forces, Paramilitary Forces, and Central Armed Police Forces at the DefExpo 20.
8. By 2030, India will spend over $130 billion on its military forces to enhance their warfare
capabilities. A good amount of this military expenditure will be used for the force
modernization of the Indian Navy to expand its base in the coming decades.
9. Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. (HAL) signed an MoU with Israel based defense electronics
company Elbit Systems for promoting and marketing the Digital Head-up Displays (HUD)
units. This is a transparent display that gives a pilot, the seamless view of information that is
projected directly in the pilot's line of sight on a screen.
10. Boeing is a strong contender for two mega fighter jet deals of the Indian Air Force and the
Indian Navy. The former has a proposed deal to acquire 114 multi-role fighter jets and the
latter has a proposal to procure 57 carriers borne aircraft.
11. BHEL has entered into a pact with Bharat Electronics Ltd. to develop and market products,
systems, and sensors for defense and non-defense applications. The MoU which was signed
at the DefExpo 20’ will enable BHEL and BEL to make joint efforts to explore markets for
products individually developed or jointly developed by both companies.
12. US Defense major Boeing has announced that the F/A 18 Super Hornet fighter jets will soon
be tested on a ski jump to showcases its abilities to operate from Indian platforms. They are
competing with French Rafale for an upcoming requirement of 57 jets for the Indian Navy.
13. Russia will begin the delivery of S-400 surface-to-air missile systems to India by the end of
2021. In 2018, Indian had signed a $5 billion deal for S-400 missiles. At the DefExpo 2020,

Drozhzhov announced that the contract is being implemented as per the schedule and the
first shipment is due by 2021.
14. Indo-Russian joint venture for light military helicopters has moved to the next stage with the
submission of techno-commercial proposals. This is now up to the apex defense acquisition
