Nearly 70 countries were expected to participate in the event, which is aimed at building upon the vision to achieve self-reliance in the defence sector. The theme of the Defence Expo 2022 was ‘India – The Emerging Defence Manufacturing Hub’.

Sources said the postponement could be due to the ongoing Russian military offensive in Ukraine due to which many foreign countries might be finding it difficult to attend the mega show.
