India continues to supply arms to Israel despite a "substantial risk" of them being used in the ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, according Amnesty International.
In a report shared with Al Jazeera, the Britain-based rights group said India has "forged a close and profitable partnership with the Israeli defence sector and has become a significant contributor to the supply chains that support Israel's military operations".
Amnesty investigators reportedly analysed 2,596 shipments of weapons, ammunition, parts and components sent from India to Israel since Oct 7, 2023, when Israel launched its genocidal assault on Gaza.
According to the group, Indian companies supplied at least 390,516 small-arms parts for military-grade weapons, 564,970 explosive ordnance components, including drone warheads and artillery shell casings, and 298 military vehicle components to Israeli military suppliers.
Amnesty said shipment trade data was used to trace exports to Israeli companies supplying the country's armed forces.
It said researchers excluded shipments that could have been intended for civilian use and identified military exports under internationally recognised Harmonised System (HS) codes 93+ and 8710+.
Al Jazeera said it had separately obtained 91 Indian customs export documents covering arms-related shipments to Israel in 2024, which covers bombs and grenades under India's customs rules.
The documents identified exports to Israeli arms manufacturers including Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, IMI Systems Limited and MCT Materials.
Amnesty Secretary General Agnes Callamard said the findings revealed India's continued support for Israel's military and defence sector despite the genocide in Gaza.
"Not only has India failed to regulate arms exports to Israel by private companies in line with international law and standards, it has also deepened its defence partnership with Israel,” she added.
The report noted that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued provisional measures in 2024 ordering Israel to prevent genocide in Gaza.
Since then, many human rights organisations and independent United Nations experts have described Israel's actions as genocide.
India and Israel have long maintained close defence ties.
According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), India accounted for 29 percent of Israel's arms exports between 2020 and 2025, while Israel supplied 15 percent of India's arms imports during the same period, behind Russia and France.
During Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Israel, both countries welcomed the growth in defence cooperation and outlined a roadmap for further collaboration.
The report also noted that Modi has repeatedly referred to Israeli prime minister as a "dear friend", despite the International Criminal Court issuing an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu in late 2024 over alleged war crimes committed during Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza.
