India's Defence Sector Sees Strong Q2 Growth Amid Rising Capital Expenditure
India's defence sector is poised for growth in the second quarter of FY27, with companies like BEL, HAL, and Solar Industries expected to report strong revenue increases driven by ongoing programme execution and deliveries. Private defence firms may outperform public sector undertakings, supported by higher realisations and order execution. Meanwhile, the government’s defence capital expenditure allocation of Rs 2.19 lakh crore for FY27, up nearly 22% from the previous year, signals a continued focus on modernisation, with significant spending expected in the second half of the fiscal year.
