India’s defence exports hit ₹13,000-cr mark, highest ever
India’s defence exports reached their highest level in 2021-22, with the figure hitting ₹13,000-crore mark, a senior defence ministry official said on Friday, an outcome of the government’s policies to boost the export of military hardware to friendly foreign countries.
Additional secretary defence production Sanjay Jaju said 70% contribution to the exports during the financial year 2021-22 came from the private sector while the public sector accounted for the remaining 30%. His comments came during a briefing on a forthcoming defence ministry seminar on Artificial Intelligence in Defence on July 11.
Defence minister Rajnath Singh will inaugurate the seminar at which 75 newly-developed AI products and technologies with applications in defence will be launched as part of the celebrations to mark 75 years of India’s Independence, and to promote ‘Aatmanirbharta’ (self-reliance) in the defence manufacturing sector, defence secretary Ajay Kumar said.
India’s defence exports recorded nearly a six-fold increase between 2017 and 2021, shooting up from ₹1,520 crore to ₹8,435 crore during that period, according to defence ministry data.
Military hardware being exported by India include missiles, the advanced light helicopter, offshore patrol vessels, personal protective gear, surveillance systems and a variety of radars, officials said.
In January, India’s BrahMos Aerospace and the Philippines signed a deal worth almost $375 million for the Philippine Marines to acquire three batteries of the BrahMos cruise missile, a shot in the arm for New Delhi’s efforts to emerge as an exporter of major defence hardware.
The military hardware that holds export potential includes the light combat aircraft, Astra beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile, Akash surface-to-air missile system, tanks, sonars and radars, as previously reported by HT.
“India has a good strategy and action plan in place, backed by forward-looking policies, to ensure self-reliance in defence, and boost the country’s status as a net exporter of weapons in the coming years,” said military affairs expert Lieutenant General Vinod Bhatia (retd).
In December 2020, the Union Cabinet, headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, gave its go-ahead to the sale of Akash missile systems to friendly foreign countries. It also created a high-powered panel for swifter approvals to export of military hardware. India has set a target of clocking defence exports worth $5 billion by 2024.
In sharpened focus on getting a toehold in foreign markets, the government granted close to a thousand export authorisations last year, nearly four times the number approved five years before that, and cut down the time for such approvals by a third between 2017 and 2021.
Also, India has imposed a phased import ban on 310 different weapons and systems during the last two years. These weapons and platforms will be indigenised in phases over the next five to six years.
In April, the defence ministry said it had exceeded its target for indigenous defence purchases in 2021-22 indicating a major boost to the country’s push towards self-reliance.
The defence ministry earmarked 64% of the capital acquisition budget for the domestic industry in 2021-22 but it was able to “overachieve this target” and local military purchases accounted for 65.5% of the capital budget, according to data from the defence ministry.
The total capital expenditure for 2021-22 stood at ₹1,14,910 crore, of which ₹75,140 crore was spent on local weapons and systems.

We need about 7k of those 155mm guns and about 12 million rounds to sustain 100k shots per day for 4 months.

nah. We dont need to have the entire supply for four months stocked. Have the supply for a month, and if war starts, send industries into overdrive producction.
Top class project management by HAL to deliver within the sanctioned fund. The project is paying for another project. The Project Management should be felicitated.
Damn,i am gonna reduce my shitting on hal.
Sp 25/26 is the mk1a and 2 seems progressing fine except the ccs fund sanction

I do not think that the industry is capable of going into overdrive production on a moment's notice. It will take at the very least 2-3 months. That is why you need 4 months supply to ensure a reliable steady supply of rounds.

The ideal reqirement is of 120 medium regiment each with 20 guns ( includes 2 TRG/Replacement pieces) , so 2,400 medium guns is what we need. Right now we have some 90 medium regiments. Pakis too are holding some 60-65 medium regiments.

How many regiments can we realistically deploy against the Chinese considering the terrain and geography and climate? How many regiments can the Chinese realistically deploy against us permitted by the terrain, geography, and climate?

I read somewhere AMCA and the engine is being tracked by PMO as strategic projects. If thats true, those will definitely get funds. There is a reason our ballistic missile program and nuclear ballistic missile submarine program didn't run into similar money issues, they were always tracked by PMO.

loitering drones like these wont replace artillery , these will be handy for targeting high value targets close to LAC.
unlike artillery , these wont be under danger or return fire. , IMHO these will be great in AP , we have shitty or no roads close to the LAC there , before we can get artillery there , we can send few of our guys carrying these . hit PLA convoys , mobile radars , armoured vehicles , command centers .

And 130 mm and 155 mm both are medium guns in indian parlance
So even if we have 130 mm guns in huge no its good enough

PLA combined Arms Brigades hold 18-27 122mm Howitzers depending upon the type of brigade ( Light/heavy/medium) and also hold 6 122mm MBRLs for heavy and medium CABGs. These units provide fire support to the brigade group. At the Group army level there is an Independent artillery Brigade which holds 64-72 155mm Howitzers as well as 36 Heavy MBRLs ( 300mm)
