New Business Opportunities at Defence IQ's Armoured Vehicles India

LONDON, June 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

As India's military undergoes one of the world's largest armoured vehicles modernisation programmes, Defence IQ will be holding Armoured Vehicles India 2011 to facilitate business opportunities between international and local industry and India's military.

This year, India announced a $36 billion modernisation programme, increasing massive investment in its armoured vehicles programmes. With the declaration that India's Arjun Mark-II has begun operational trials at the Pokhran ranges in Rajasthan, with a final delivery date planned for 2014, armoured vehicles are increasingly a priority for the Indian Army and DRDO to develop.

Defence IQ's Armoured Vehicles India events have played a crucial role in helping to open up business opportunities in India, especially for international military who have found the event important for developing relationships with potential local partners and senior military officials.

Armoured Vehicles India 2011 is already generating a lot of interest in the international and Indian armoured vehicles community. The event, which will be taking place on 16th - 18th November, is positioned next to the Indian Cavalry Association's Annual Weekend of Celebration in New Delhi, which will guarantee the presence of pre-eminent Indian military at the country's armoured vehicles event.

• S Sundaresh, Chief Controller R&D (Armament & Combat Engineering), Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO)
• S. Sivakumar, Director, Combat Vehicles Research & Development Establishment, DRDO
• Brigadier Anders Carell, Head of Land Systems Procurement, FMV

Armoured Vehicles India is the only event in the country that will specifically discuss future and current requirements and capabilities for India's armoured vehicle modernisation programmes. Colonel (Ret'd) AK Sharma from the Indian Army has stated that, "The event is the premier venue to understand modernisation plans of Indian Army's land force capabilities and interface with key officials."

Armoured Vehicles India will be taking place from 16th-18th November in New Delhi.
