India will present a wide range of its defence and aerospace capabilities at the Dubai Air Show 2025. Minister of State for Defence Sanjay Seth will lead the Indian delegation at the event, which will take place on November 17–18 in the United Arab Emirates.
The Indian delegation includes senior officials from the Defence Ministry, the Department of Defence Production, the Ministry of External Affairs and the Armed Forces. On the sidelines of the exhibition, Seth is scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting with his UAE counterpart to discuss defence cooperation.
He will also chair an industry round table involving around 50 companies from India, the UAE, Australia, the United States, Brazil, the United Kingdom and Italy. The discussion will focus on strengthening collaboration in defence technology and boosting manufacturing opportunities in India.
