It has been a long-practiced notion that India repeats every time. Whenever the budget gets announced, the defense sector clinches most of the moolah, maybe to fight the threats from the cantankerous neighbors housed near the borders. The government never backfoot for matters concerning the security of the nation. In the latest Budget, Rs 5.25 lakh crores have been allotted for the combined three that is Army, Navy, and Airforce. Most of the money will be used to pay the salary for the three lakhs and more people serving the nation in the defense section. The additional goes for procuring lethal defense weapons and arms from foreign makers.

A lion's share of the defense budget is highly focused to rope in the French and Russian-made armory, which gleams in finesse that any country will fall for. Last year, the government spent more than Rs 2 lakhs on this. The Doklam ad the Hotsprings clash with Chinese forces has upped the necessity to get the required defense shields. Meanwhile, in a function held in Bangalore, Prime Minister Narendra Modi mentioned that Indian-made defense exports are soaring a huge Rs 12,500 crores and vouched that the numbers will break to reach the zenith during 2024-25 times with an expected Rs 40,000 crores coming to the coffers. In the coming years, India is making amends to transform itself into a defense hub, eyeing more investors from foreign turfs. At present, India is exporting its weapons to more than 75 countries. The ingeniously made INS Vikrant, Thejas Fighters have caught the eyes of investors for a long. Small praise comes here for the Cochin shipyard since the INS Vikrant’s deft making took place inside the same.

Karnataka's Tumkur and Gujarat’s Surat are soon to be facelifted to become the largest helicopter production factories in Asia. The prime minister has equaled the new India to a flight that is taking off, to the heights. The government with many moves is doing its finest to help the defense arena thrive. India will soon be a defense pantheon, and the neighbors over the mountains may get the blues.
