India will not review its no-first-use of nuclear weapons policy since it has an adequate strike back capability in place in the event of a nuclear attack, Defence Minister George Fernandes said on Monday.

"We have a nuclear doctrine and a Nuclear and Strategic Force Command chain in position. So we stand by the no-first-use policy," Fernandes told newsmen when asked to comment on calls by some experts to give up the no-first-use policy.

On his Russian visit starting Tuesday, the defence minister said officials from the two sides would aim to work to sort out loopholes in the servicing of equipment and supply of weapons spares.
