What weapons were manufactured in India by the British forces which were used during world wars?

The British had gun manufacturing set up in India, see Ordnance Factories Board on wikipedia.

In 1940, to combat the growing threat of Japan, a military aircraft manufacturing facility was set up in Bangalore. See Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.

Can't find any mention of naval or artillery production, but it's possible they were setup by the British.
