India Advances Defence Manufacturing with BrahMos Deal and Rising Exports
India is advancing its defence sector with a Rs 661 crore contract for BrahMos missile systems featuring 68% domestic content, enhancing maritime security and indigenous production. Defence exports have surged, with systems like Akash and BrahMos reaching international buyers. Defence capital expenditure rose 37% year-on-year, supporting growth in electronics, radar, and shipbuilding sectors. While approvals for defence projects exceed Rs 1.6 trillion, the timing of large orders remains crucial for sustaining industry momentum and employment generation.
