  • Indian companies supplied hundreds of thousands of weapons and military components to Israel between October 2023 and November 2025, according to an Amnesty International report.
  • These shipments included components for machine guns, 155mm artillery shells, and drone "kamikaze" warheads, destined for major Israeli military suppliers.
  • The report highlights India's potential role in the ongoing conflict in Gaza, with findings based on conservative estimates that may understate the actual contribution.

A new report from Amnesty International reveals that Indian state-owned and private companies have supplied at least 2,596 shipments of weapons, ammunition, and military components to Israel during the period of the Gaza conflict. These deliveries, spanning from October 7, 2023, to November 30, 2025, have brought India under scrutiny for its role in the ongoing events.

The shipments included crucial components such as machine gun parts, high-explosive 155mm artillery shells supplied to Elbit Systems, and warheads for SkyStriker "kamikaze" drones. Components for armored vehicles destined for major Israeli military suppliers were also part of the deliveries. Amnesty International's findings detail that these supplies comprised 564,970 explosive ammunition parts, 390,516 small arms spare parts, and 298 military vehicle components.

This report, titled "Made in India: The Supply of Weapons and Ammunition to Israel," suggests that the figures presented are based on conservative methodologies, implying the actual extent of India's contribution to Israel's military supply chain could be higher. The findings follow previous accusations that New Delhi has been providing material support to Israel's operations in Gaza.

An investigation by Al Jazeera, utilizing data from the Israeli Tax Authority, identified India as the second-largest exporter of military-related goods to Israel between October 2023 and October 2025. This indicates a significant flow of military supplies from India, even as Israel faces international pressure regarding its actions in Gaza, where at least 247,387 Palestinians have been killed or injured since October 7, 2023.

Israel has a large domestic production capacity, but they rely on certain components, whether it's high-tech materials for the aerospace sector or large quantities of materials like steel for military purposes.
