India's Defence Sector Sees Growth in Indigenous Technology and Manufacturing ChallengesPreviousNext

India's defence sector is projected for significant growth driven by geopolitical shifts, rising domestic demand, and government support. Indigenous technology adoption is expected to reach USD 36.45 billion in three years, potentially creating five times more jobs. Defence manufacturing hit record levels with exports to nearly 100 countries. However, industry challenges include managing large order backlogs and improving operational efficiency to sustain growth, as highlighted by recent surveys and reports.
