Three Indian companies are among the world’s top 100 for combined arms sales in 2020.
This is according to the new report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), which tracks global arms trade.
The three are Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Indian Ordnance Factories, and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL).
Of these, the Ordnance Factory Board (OFB), which comprised the Indian Ordnance Factories, has been dissolved and seven new Public Sector Undertakings were created in its place.
The three were ranked among the top 100 in arms sales in 2019 as well.
