Equip the Armed Forces and CAPFs with modern weapons and technology

Modernisation and indigenisation are being actively pursued. The Ministry of Defence signed a record 193 contracts worth about Rs 2,09,050 crore in FY2024-25 (Rs 1,68,922 crore to domestic industry), defence exports reached a record of about Rs 38,424 crore, and the defence budget rose to Rs 6.81 lakh crore for 2025-26. Positive Indigenisation Lists now mandate domestic procurement of thousands of items, with platforms such as ATAGS, Pinaka, indigenous drones and the C-295 (Vadodara) advancing. As an open-ended commitment to further equip the forces, it is being delivered on an ongoing basis rather than completed. Partial (strong momentum).
