DefExpo 2020 themed as "India: The emerging defence manufacturing hub" will be held from 5 to 9 February 2020, for the first time at Vrindavan Yojna, Sector 15, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.

The biennial mega defence exhibition will bring together leading technologies in the defence sector under one roof and provide a myriad of opportunities for government, private manufactures, startups and the entire spectrum of India's aerospace, defence and security interests. 

The 11th edition of the exhibition is expected to witness larger participation of defence manufacturers from both the public and private sectors, OEMs and MSMEs. The event will also provide an ideal platform for business, decision makers and policymakers to interact, to address common concerns while promoting India as a defence manufacturing hub.

In a major outreach to global defence manufacturing industries, Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said India's defence sector was exploring "mutually beneficial" partnerships with friendly countries to set up industries at home and abroad..."due to the policy reforms undertaken by the government, defence production in both public and private sectors had reached a record volume of Rs 80,502 crore in 2018-19." He set the target of Rs 90,000 crore for 2019-20.

More than 100 business events and seminars are being planned with over 1,000 exhibitors expected to take part in the DefExpo.
