Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has exuded confidence that the country will export more than Rs 50,000 crore defence items by 2029-30, adding that the government is committed to collaborate with the academia for self-reliance in defence production.
Singh said government’s efforts of achieve self-reliance are yielding desired results as the defence exports, which were around just Rs 600 crore ten years ago, crossed a record number of Rs 21,000 crore in FY 2023-24. Highlighting the increasing role of technology in the defence ecosystem across the globe amidst ongoing conflicts, he that the use of drones, laser warfare, cyber warfare, precision guided missiles and hypersonic missiles has transformed warfare into a technology-oriented operation.
Further, he stated ‘The biggest hurdle in achieving ‘Aatmanirbharta’ in defence is that we are compelled to import some high-end technologies necessary for our items. There is a need to focus on defence application of modern cutting-edge technologies in view of the changing nature of warfare.’
