India Advances Defence Industry with Akash Missile and Rising Exports
India's defence sector is rapidly evolving under Vision 2030, transitioning from a major arms importer to a significant exporter with production exceeding $18 billion. The indigenous Akash missile system, demonstrated in Operation Sindoor, highlights India's growing capabilities in air defence against missile and drone threats. Indian-made weapons, including the Akash system, Pinaka rocket launcher, advanced drones, radars, and naval platforms, are now exported to over 80 countries, reflecting increased global demand and a push for self-reliance in defence technology.
