LONDON, July 31 (Alliance News): Amnesty International has alleged that India continued supplying weapons, ammunition and military components to Israel despite the risk that they could be used in violations of international law during the conflict in the occupied Gaza Strip.
In a report released on Thursday titled “Made in India: The Supply of Weapons and Ammunition to Israel,” the human rights organization said India had shipped 2,596 consignments of weapons, ammunition, parts and military components to Israel since October 7, 2023.
According to the report, Amnesty International analyzed shipment records between India and Israel and found that Indian-made military equipment had been supplied to major Israeli defence companies that provide equipment directly to the Israeli military.
The organization said the shipments included at least 390,516 small arms components, 564,970 explosive ordnance parts, including drone warheads and artillery shell casings, and 298 military vehicle components.
Amnesty International alleged that some Indian companies could face the risk of complicity in violations of international law through their business relationships with Israeli defence manufacturers.
The report identified several Indian companies, including PLR Systems Private Limited, Indo MIM Private Limited, Kalyani Systems Private Limited, Munitions India Limited, and Alpha Elsec Defence & Aerospace Systems Private Limited, as suppliers of military equipment or components linked to Israeli defence companies.
Amnesty International Secretary General Agnès Callamard said India had continued supporting Israel’s military and defence sector during the Gaza conflict through the export of arms, ammunition and military components.
She urged the Indian government to suspend authorisations for arms exports to Israel and ensure that companies operating under its jurisdiction do not contribute to violations of international humanitarian law.
The report stated that Amnesty excluded items likely intended for civilian purposes or missile defence systems from its analysis and highlighted shortcomings in India’s arms export control framework, including limited transparency and the absence of mandatory human rights due diligence.
Amnesty also noted that India abstained from the vote adopting the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) in 2013 and has neither signed nor acceded to the treaty. The organization urged India to join the ATT to strengthen compliance with international standards governing arms transfers.
According to Amnesty International, international law prohibits states from transferring weapons where there is a clear risk they could be used to commit serious violations of international humanitarian law.
The organization said it contacted the Government of India and nine companies named in the report during June and July 2026 but had not received any response by the time the report was published.
