India will showcase its growing defence and aerospace strengths at the Dubai Air Show 2025, which runs from November 17‑18 in the UAE. Union Minister of State for Defence Sanjay Seth will lead a high‑level Indian delegation that includes senior officials from the Defence Ministry, Department of Defence Production, Ministry of External Affairs, and the Armed Forces.
During the two‑day exhibition, Minister Seth will meet his UAE counterpart to push deeper defence collaboration. He will also chair an industry roundtable with about 50 companies from India, the UAE, Australia, the US, Brazil, the UK, and Italy. The panel will discuss new ways to work together on defence technology and to grow manufacturing opportunities in India.
Seth will open the new India Pavilion, which will feature displays from major players such as Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Corel Technologies, Dantal Hydraulics, Image Synergy Ekxplor, and SFO Technologies. Seventeen other Indian firms—including Bharat Forge, BrahMos, Tech Mahindra, and HBL Engineering—will run their own stalls, while 15 Indian startups will present fresh innovations.
The Indian Air Force will add excitement with performances by the Suryakiran Aerobatic Team and a display of the indigenously built LCA Tejas fighter.
