What the Data Shows

India’s major-arms import supplier mix is measured by supplier share of India’s major-arms imports over 2021–25. The composition uses SIPRI’s top three supplier shares and a remaining-suppliers segment to complete the 100% denominator. Russia led with 40%, followed by France at 29% and Israel at 15%. The top two suppliers accounted for 69% of India’s major-arms imports, while the top three accounted for 84%.

Data notes & caveats

The remaining-suppliers segment is the 100% import denominator minus SIPRI’s rounded top-three supplier shares. SIPRI major-arms shares are based on trend-indicator values rather than financial import values.

Methodology

Segments use SIPRI supplier shares for India major-arms imports in 2021–25. The remaining-suppliers segment equals 100% less Russia, France and Israel.

Source consistency notes

Top supplier rows use the same SIPRI fact sheet, same 2021–25 period and same share-of-India-imports unit.
