The government of India has informed that the 12th edition of Defence Expo 2022 has been postponed.

DefExpo is a flagship biennial event of the Ministry of Defence.
Objective: To showcase India as a major destination of land, naval, air & homeland security systems and defence engineering.
Aim: To build upon the vision of ‘Atma Nirbharta’ in defence and reach USD five billion defence exports target by 2024.
This was the 12th edition of DefExpo that was to be held in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. The 11th edition was held at Lucknow in 2020.
Why has DefExpo 2022 been cancelled?
The Government has said that Defence Expo 2022 has been postponed due to logistics problems being experienced by participants.
However, defence experts have linked the decision to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
