US Lifts Sanctions on Four Indian Firms

The United States has lifted sanctions imposed earlier on four Indian companies over allegations of supplying defence technology and machinery to Russia. The firms include Hyderabad-based RRG Engineering Technologies and Lokesh Machines, along with Galaxy Bearings from Ahmedabad and Shourya Aeronautics from Delhi.

The sanctions were originally imposed over claims that RRG Engineering supplied microelectronic equipment used in weapons manufacturing, while Lokesh Machines provided machinery for defence production. Galaxy Bearings was accused of exporting roller bearings used in arms manufacturing, and Shourya Aeronautics was linked to radar and navigation equipment exports.
