The minister said the government’s goal was to ensure that India evolves from an assembly hub into a true manufacturing powerhouse — “Made in India, Made for the World.”

India’s defence exports are poised to hit a record $3.6 billion (Rs 30,000 crore) by March 2026, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Oct. 27, crediting the effective use of indigenous weapon systems during Operation Sindoor for bolstering the country’s global standing and accelerating demand for Made-in-India military equipment.

Addressing the annual session of the Society of Indian Defence Manufacturers (SIDM), Singh said the success of Operation Sindoor — in which the Indian Armed Forces deployed systems such as the Akash missile, BrahMos, and the AkashTeer Air Defence Control System — had demonstrated the operational strength and export potential of India’s home-grown platforms.
