India's Defense and Aerospace Sector Hits Landmark Export Milestone

? India has delivered BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles to the Philippines as part of a US$ 375 million agreement signed in 2022.

This accomplishment stems from a US$ 375 million agreement inked back in 2022, highlighting the efficacy of India's collaboration with Russia's NPO Mashinostroyeniya under the BrahMos missile program. The BrahMos project stands tall as one of the world's most triumphant missile initiatives, bolstering India's deterrent capabilities with its swift and precise weaponry. Notably, since 2007, the Indian Army has seamlessly integrated multiple BrahMos regiments, reinforcing the nation's defense prowess and strategic stance in the region.

The fiscal year 2023-24 has proven monumental for India's defense and aerospace sector, witnessing a remarkable surge in exports to a historic high of Rs. 21,083 crores (US$ 2.63 billion). This astounding 32.5% increase from the preceding year underscores a robust growth trajectory, with exports skyrocketing by 31 times over the past decade. Such a feat is a testament to the concerted efforts of both the private sector and Defense Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs), with each contributing approximately 60% and 40%, respectively, to this significant milestone.

The synergy between the private sector and DPSUs assumes paramount importance in achieving such commendable milestones, underscoring India's escalating prominence as a global defense exporter.
