The Russia Ukrainian war and the Iran USA war has also been an opportunity for Indian petroleum industry and Indian arms manufacturing industry.

 The Russia Ukrainian war and the Iran USA war has also been an opportunity for Indian petroleum industry and Indian arms manufacturing industry. Please tell me as to how much of ammunition and arms India has exported ever since the beginning of Russia, Ukraine war and how much of petroleum products has India sold to the world ever since the beginning of Ukrainian war?


The broad picture is clear: India’s defence exports rose sharply after the Ukraine war began, and petroleum product exports also benefited from the global energy shock that followed. But the exact totals depend on whether you mean **annual exports**, **cumulative exports since February 2022**, or only **arms/ammunition to Europe/Ukraine-related routes**; official Indian data is usually reported by financial year rather than by war date. [1][2][3]

## Defence exports

India’s total defence exports were **₹21,083 crore in FY 2023-24** and **₹23,622 crore in FY 2024-25**, according to the Ministry of Defence/PIB. [1][2]
That means India exported at least **₹44,705 crore** in defence products over those two financial years alone, which covers most of the Ukraine-war period. [1][2]
The government says these exports included **ammunition, arms, sub-systems, complete systems, and critical components** sold to around **80 countries** in FY 2024-25. [4]

For ammunition specifically, there is no single official public figure that neatly totals “all ammunition exported since the start of the war,” but reporting based on Reuters and customs data indicates that Indian-made shells and components shipped through Europe have been small in volume, and Indian officials said the ammunition reaching Ukraine was **less than 1%** of Kyiv’s total wartime imports. [5][6][7][8]

## Petroleum exports

India’s petroleum product exports hit a record in 2025, with shipments valued at **$52 billion in January–November 2025** and **$44.4 billion in FY 2024-25**, according to business reporting based on commerce ministry and Kpler data. [3]
That same reporting says exports reached **1.28 million barrels per day** in 2025, showing how strongly India’s refining sector benefited from the post-Ukraine-war energy market. [3]

If you want a war-period total from **February 2022 onward**, the cleanest available official-style figure in the material I found is still the annual/fiscal-year data, not a single consolidated cumulative total. [3][1][2]

## Useful interpretation

So, in practical terms:

- **Defence exports since the war began:** roughly **₹44,705 crore** in FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 combined, with the war likely contributing to the acceleration. [1][2]
- **Petroleum product exports since the war began:** at least **$44.4 billion in FY 2024-25 alone**, and **$52 billion** in the first eleven months of 2025, showing a large windfall from the energy disruption. [3]
