"A working meeting between the Techmash administration and a delegation of the Indian Defense Ministry’s Ordnance Factories Board will be held within the framework of the business program to discuss joint production," the press office said.

According to the press office, more than 15 delegations from Asia, Africa, South America and the Middle East have shown interest in Techmash’s exposition.

"Over a month before the exhibition, we received a big number of proposals to hold working meetings within the framework of our exposition," the press office quoted Techmash CEO Sergei Rusakov as saying.

As it was reported earlier, Techmash Enterprise is delivering Mango rounds for T-90S tanks to India.

A total of 66,000 rounds are expected to be fully delivered in 2016.

The Russian arms exporter Rosoboronexport earlier said that the contract signed with India envisaged licensed production in India to manufacture ammunition of this type.

The Defexpo India exhibition has been held since 2000. This year, it will be held on March 28-31 in Quitol.
