View: Defence exports have witnessed a considerable uptick, even as some bottlenecks need removing
Narendra Modi's dialogue on India's defence exports with Vladimir Putin in September 2022 led to a remarkable surge of ₹21,083 crore in 2023-24. This growth, driven by various initiatives and partnerships, underscores the evolving landscape of India's defence industry. 2023-24 has witnessed a big increase, from ₹15,920 crore in 2022-23 to ₹21,083 crore, representing an increase of 32.43%. Notwithstanding the pandemic serving as a dampener, at no stage before the last decade have Indian defence exports experienced such a steep upward trajectory.
