India did not want to be hosting an event of this scale when the US-led grouping was opposing Russia, India’s long standing ally. The US and Russia both have deep interest in the weapons equipment market in India, which is scheduled to spend $18 billion this fiscal on acquisitions.

The expo will be for land, naval and homeland security systems. It will witness three business days, followed by two public days. Live demonstrations showcasing the equipment and skill set of the armed forces, defence public sector undertakings and industry will be held on all five days on the Sabarmati Riverfront.
