Defexpo from March 29

Issue No. 1 | January 01-15, 2012

The next Defexpo will be held in New Delhi from March 29-April 1, 2012. The seventh Defexpo-2012, billed to be the largest of its kind in Asia, is expected to be attended by official delegations from 90 countries. The biennial international defence exhibition on land and naval systems is organised by the Department of Defence Production on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.

The Defexpo is a hugely attractive event for global defence hardware manufacturers and suppliers. An Indoor Shell Scheme in Defexpo is available for foreign exhibitors at a premium of $709 per square metre (psm) in comparison to Euro 330 psqm (or $431) for indoor raw space that was available at a similar trade show, the 11th Auto Expo, slated to be held at the same venue, Pragati Maidan, from January 7-11, 2012.

The Defexpo-2010 was visited by official delegations from 74 countries. The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) will be the event manager for Defexpo-2012.
