The Indigenous Defence Equipment Exporters Association (IDEEA) is the nodal-agency of the Government of India tasked with handling exports of Indian military equipment. The organisation is based in Delhi.[2]
The Defence Production Policy of 2018 targeted achieving annual defence exports of Rs 35,000 crore by 2025.[3] The IDEEA was formed to facilitate achieving this. The organisation was formally inaugurated on 18 October 2019 by Bipin Rawat, the acting Chief of Indian Army,[4] who reiterated the target[5] in the presence of Defence Attaches from various countries.
The IDEEA's aim is to make India “one of the top three defence equipment exporters in the world.” It is the nodal-agency tasked with processing all export inquiries from global customers of Indian military equipment. The agency will serve as the interface between Indian military equipment producers and global customers.[6]
The Indigenous Defence Equipment Exporters Association is a non-profit organisation created under the terms of the Section 8 of the Companies Act.[7]
