Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.
Original manifesto wording
“We will make Gujarat the Defence Industry Hub of India by attracting major defence manufacturers, building Defence Industrial Corridors and creating a conducive policy-driven ecosystem. Under this, we will: Corner 10% of India's Defence Production.”

Our Assessment
India's defence production reached ₹1.78 lakh crore in FY2025-26, but the cited official release gives no comparable Gujarat state total. The opening of Vadodara's C-295 assembly complex is real capacity, yet its existence cannot establish Gujarat's 10% share. A state-by-state production series is needed before the numerical outcome can be assessed.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why pending?
The target is a share of total Indian defence production. National output is published, but a verified Gujarat numerator for the same period is missing. Manufacturing projects demonstrate activity without proving the 10% outcome, so delivery remains Pending.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why low confidence?
The manifesto target and national total are official, but the central state-level metric is unavailable in the reviewed sources. Confidence in the delivery verdict is Low.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- Official annual value of defence production in Gujarat on the same basis as the national total
- State-by-state defence production figures for FY2022-23 onward
- A reconciled calculation showing whether Gujarat reaches 10%
