India's defence capabilities grew substantially during past decade: NITI Aayog member

15 May 2024 Evaluate

NITI Aayog member VK Saraswat has said that India's defence capabilities have gone up substantially during the past decade of the Modi government and now the country is dependent on arms import only for immediate requirements of the armed forces. He said at present 60 per cent of India's total arms and ammunition are indigenous.

He said ‘India's complete ecosystem of defence is largely now indigenous. We are dependent on imports only for immediate requirements of the armed forces or something which we do not have technology for.’ 

Commenting on Swedish think tank SIPRI's recent report, Saraswat said ‘while our arms requirement is going up, the ratio of imports to our overall defence requirement is decreasing, despite a rise in the total value of imports.’ Swedish think tank SIPRI on March 11 had said India remains the world's top arms importer and its imports increased by 4.7 per cent between 2014-2018 and 2019-2023.
