Indian companies sanctioned by the US as part of a global effort to crack down on supply of dual use items to Russia will not have a major impact on the domestic defence ecosystem as most of them are not linked to any major project. Only one of them has limited work with the Defence Research and Development Organisation and the armed forces. Out of the 19 Indian firms on the global list of 400 plus companies sanctioned, several are entities that seem to be just carrying out trading activities by purchasing western equipment including electronics and selling them to Russian companies that have been hit by western sanctions. Some of them, like Denvas Services, which mainly supplies digital kiosks for various services, also have Russian nationals as registered directors and shareholders. It is legal for Indian companies to have foreign nationals as directors and there are no sanctions on conducting work with Russian entities. The company has been accused of procuring US-origin microelectronics for use in its advanced Russian conventional weapons.
