India's defence exports increase 4.5 times in 5 years

India's defence exports have surged 4.5 times over the past five years, exceeding ₹38,000 crore, reports Jbhaskar. The private sector now accounts for 45% of these exports, marking a significant shift in the defence production landscape. This growth is attributed to the sharing of military technology with private companies, which has strengthened the network for producing arms and equipment. As a result, India has reduced its reliance on imports and emerged as a significant player in the global defence market.

Impact Defence manufacturers see increased export opportunities as India's private sector expands its role.
