Following the Prime Minister’s statement on 22 April referencing greater defence and security collaboration with India, the following 2 new open general export licences (OGELs) have been published for use from 28th June, 2022.

Open General Export Licence (dual-use items: India)

Open General Export Licence (military goods and technology: India)


The purpose of the OGELs is to simplify export permissions for a range of dual-use and military equipment to India.

 

Each OGEL has specific permissions and restrictions that must be adhered to by the exporter, exports being subject to ECJU compliance audit.


Registration for the new licences is through the Export Control Joint Unit (ECJU) SPIRE system.
