Defence Lawyers in India – Expert Legal Guidance for Defence Sector Matters

India, with one of the world’s largest defence industrial bases, relies on the Ordnance Factory Board (OFB), Defence Public Sector Units (DPSUs), and the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) for its defence production and research.
