The Indian defence ministry is tightening the monitoring of military equipment manufactured in India, as per reports. The ministry has sounded the alarm, instructing private firms to rigorously adhere to end-user certification (EUC) rules for exports.The move comes after reports surfaced that Indian-made munitions have ended up in the “wrong hands”. Multiple reports have emerged of weapons landing up on either side of the conflict without proper authorisation by the country of origin.Earlier this year, several reports emerged claiming that Indian-made 155 mm artillery shells were being used by Ukraine. India refuted these claims, with foreign ministry spokesperson clearing that “New Delhi has neither sent nor exported any artillery ammunition to Ukraine.”
