We regularly advise clients involved in the production, import, and technology transfer of arms, ammunition, and high-grade defence systems. From licensing under the Arms Act, 1959 and Industrial Development and Regulation Act, 1951, to compliance with international export control regimes, we offer end-to-end strategic counsel to clients in this tightly regulated space.
We have worked with a wide array of stakeholders across the weapons and ammunition value chain, including Indian and foreign OEMs, private manufacturers of small arms and defence-grade explosives and joint ventures manufacturing under Buy and Make (Indian) categories. Where arms and ammunition are acquired through capital procurement, we advise on classification and bid participation under the Defence Acquisition Procedure, 2020 (DAP).
