Private sector companies in India have played a significant role in the country's defence production, contributing Rs 16,411 crore in fiscal year 2023-24, marking the highest share since 2016-17. Despite a decrease from the previous year, this contribution accounted for 22 per cent of the total defence production of Rs 74,739 crore. The government's push for local defence production, record high defence exports, and investments in defence corridors in Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu aim to boost domestic manufacturing and reduce reliance on imports.
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.
