India's arms imports have decreased by 33 per cent between 2011-15 and 2016-20, a report by Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) said.
The report stated that because of decrease in import, Russia was the most affected supplier, although India's imports of US arms also fell, by 46 per cent.
Russia was the largest arms supplier to India in both 2011-15 and 2016-20. However, Russia's deliveries dropped by 53 per cent between the two periods and its share of total Indian arms imports fell from 70 to 49 per cent.
In 2011-15, the US was the second largest arms supplier to India, but in 2016-20 India's arms imports from the US were 46 per cent lower than in the previous five-year period, making the US the fourth largest supplier to India in 2016-20.
