India's Defence Sector Transformed: From Import-Driven to Global Exporter
- In the fiscal year 2024-25, India's defence export value reached Rs 23,622 crore, marking a significant achievement announced in New Delhi on June 10, 2025.
- This increase follows a shift from an import-dependent model over the past 11 years driven by Make in India and Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiatives.
- In 2024-25, the Ministry of Defence finalized agreements totaling Rs 2.09 lakh crore, allocating Rs 1.69 lakh crore of that amount to domestic companies, thereby advancing indigenous production capabilities.
- Defence Minister Rajnath Singh called it “a proud stride towards self-reliance” as indigenous production now meets about 65% of requirements and 11,000 women serve as officers.
- This transformation implies stronger borders, modern forces, and a trusted global exporter status, although challenges like technology dependence and project delays remain.
