India’s defence sector has achieved a remarkable milestone in the fiscal year 2023-24, with total annual defence production reaching an all-time high of Rs 1,26,887 crore. This unprecedented achievement, announced by the Union Ministry of Defence on July 5, 2024, marks a significant leap in India’s journey towards self-reliance in defence manufacturing.
This substantial increase demonstrates India’s growing capabilities in defence production and its commitment to enhancing domestic manufacturing in this critical sector.
While public sector undertakings continue to lead in defence production, the private sector’s involvement is steadily growing, indicating a more balanced and competitive defence manufacturing ecosystem.
This consistent growth over the past five years reflects the success of government policies aimed at boosting domestic defence production.
The significant increase in defence exports has played a crucial role in driving up overall production figures. India now exports a wide range of defence products to approximately 85 countries worldwide.
These strategic initiatives have collectively contributed to India’s impressive performance in defence production.
This diverse product range showcases India’s growing capabilities across various segments of defence manufacturing.
India’s progress in defence production aligns with its goal of becoming self-reliant in this critical sector and positions the country as an emerging global player in defence manufacturing.
While India has made significant strides, sustaining this growth and meeting future targets will require continued focus and strategic planning.
