Subtitle: Massive Boost in Military Spending Reflects India's Rising Global Military Stature

India has significantly increased its defense budget, marking a more than 2.5 times rise over the past decade, underscoring its growing focus on self-reliance and military modernization. For FY 2024–25, the government allocated ₹6.22 lakh crore (approximately $75 billion), making it one of the highest defense budgets in the world. A major portion is dedicated to indigenous procurement and advanced military infrastructure, sending a strong signal to neighboring nations like Pakistan and asserting India's position as a major global military power.

After the Pahalgam terror attack, India strongly attacked the terrorists and their masters. Operation Sindoor destroyed many terrorist hideouts in Pakistan. When the agitated Pakistan dared to do so, it was taught a befitting lesson. The world saw India's military might. Actually, all this was possible only due to India's strong defence system.

Actually, all this was possible only due to India's strong defence system. India has taken many important steps in the last few years to strengthen its defence preparedness. It has strengthened the military infrastructure. It has modernised its armed forces. Many important defence deals have been made.

In the last 11 years, the defence budget has increased by more than two and a half times. Not only this, strategic reforms, private sector participation and innovation have also boosted indigenous production, making India a self-reliant and globally reliable defence exporter.
