Indien jetzt unter den 25 größten Waffenexporteuren

SS: India has transitioned from being an arms importer and found a place in the list of the top 25 arms exporter nations due to tremendous effort from private sector and Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs), said the Economic Survey 2023-24 tabled in parliament on Monday.
This was possible, the Economic Survey outlined, because India’s defence production grew substantially from ₹74,054 crore in FY17 to ₹108,684 crore in FY23, boosting defence exports.
“India held the distinction of being the world’s second-largest arms importer. The narrative, however, has changed. India has transitioned from an arms importer and found a place in the list of the top 25 arms exporter nations,” Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in the Economic Survey. Additionally, said the survey, there has been a rise in the number of export authorisations issued to the defence exporters. “From 1,414 export authorisations in FY23, the number has increased to 1,507 in FY24,” the Economic Survey read.
