New Delhi: Indian defence companies, both public and private, are currently participating in the EUROSATORY 2024 defence show in France, showcasing a range of Made in India products and technologies.

The Indian pavilion at the exhibition was inaugurated on Monday, June 17 by Indian Ambassador to France Jawed Ashraf. The event was attended by senior officials from Bharat Electronics Limited, including Directors Manoj Jain and K V Suresh Kumar, as well as Brig Zubin Bhatnagar, Defence Attache of India to France, and other senior officials from Defence Public Sector Undertakings and the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
