The IDEEA's aim is to make India “one of the top three defence equipment exporters in the world.”[1] It is the nodal-agency tasked with processing all export inquiries from global customers of Indian military equipment.[1] The agency will serve as the interface between Indian military equipment producers and global customers.[3]
