In India’s Arms Exports Rise by 63% to $4.11 Billion, Asad Mirza examines how India’s defence sector is undergoing a structural transition from import dependence to export capability, supported by indigenous manufacturing, policy alignment, and growing global trust. The sharp rise reflects not only increased export volumes but also deeper integration into global defence supply chains and partnerships.
The article, published on Raksha Anirveda, highlights the expanding scope of India’s defence exports across advanced systems, along with the growing role of private industry in strengthening national capability. Commenting on this shift, Shantanu Gupta, Founder & Managing Director, Tecknotrove Systems, notes that this is “not a spike but a structural shift from import dependence to export capability, driven by indigenous innovation and global trust.” He further emphasizes the role of simulation technologies in enabling this transition, supporting capability development alongside manufacturing growth.
