India's Defence Production and Exports Rise Significantly, Private Sector Share Grows
India's defence production and exports have significantly increased over the past decade, reaching Rs 1.78 lakh crore recently, with the private sector's contribution rising to 24%. Minister of State for Defence Sanjay Seth attributed this growth to the government's 'Swadeshi' and 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' initiatives. Speaking at the Suryakiran air show in Meerut, he encouraged youth to consider careers in defence, linking the progress to national self-reliance goals ahead of India's 2047 centenary.
