The high focus on self-reliance and boosting domestic defence production is leading to a heightened focus on strengthening supply chains and ensuring that innovation at MSME’s is aligned with the needs of defence OEM’s to assist manufacturers in sourcing components, input materials, assemblies, and sub-assemblies from the burgeoning defence MSME sector in India. Such interactions do encourage a lot of R&D which in general remains a challenge for smaller enterprises.

"AeroDef India 2024 provides a unique platform for both Indian and international aerospace and defence equipment manufacturers to procure raw materials, components, sub-assemblies, and finished products," said Dr Sukhjinder Singh, Founder & President of the Sustainable Development Leaders Council. This event also offers MSMEs the opportunity to showcase their capabilities, skills, and manufacturing expertise to OEMs, strategic partners, and PSUs.

The previous three editions of AeroDef India brought together over 100 MSME’s eager to supply to Defence Manufacturing units, including PSUs, OFBs, Indian and international private manufacturers. This year's event expects an even more robust turnout, with a diverse visitor profile comprising Procurement, Supply Chain, Materials, Production, and Subcontracting heads from DPSUs like HAL, BEML, and DRDO, as well as Indian private players such as Tata Advanced, Aditya Birla Group, Kalyani Group, Godrej, L&T, Reliance, and international majors like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon.

The exhibiting profile of AeroDef India 2024 encompasses a wide range of specialties, including but not limited to Speciality Materials, Composites, Alloy Sensors, Controls, Instrumentation, Automation & Robotics, Design Engineering & IT Solutions, Electronics Components, Semiconductors & Deep Electronics Solutions, Maintenance Repair & Overhaul (MRO)Testing, Simulation, Prototyping, Engineering & Processing, Casting, Forging, Sheet Metal, Forming, Component Manufacturer & Suppliers, Other Tools & Suppliers (Like Fabric and glass).
