The Adani group’s drone exports to a country accused of genocide have spotlighted India's weapon sales. The Wire reports that Adani-Elbit Advanced Systems India Ltd., a joint venture with Israel's Elbit Systems, exported military-use components for over 20 Hermes 900 drones to Israel between 2019 and 2023. Additionally, Munitions India Ltd (MIL) and Premier Explosives Ltd. (PEL) have been exporting dual-use items to Israel, with recent approvals despite ongoing conflict in Gaza. While DGFT licenses these exports, ensuring non-military use, the timing raises concerns about their potential military application. The International Court of Justice emphasized nations' obligations to prevent arms use in conflicts, stressing that India, like Germany, must ensure compliance with international conventions to avoid complicity in potential war crimes. The Indian government’s steps to monitor the end-use of these exports remain unclear, raising questions about its role in the Israel-Palestine conflict.
