India is one of the key Defence markets driven by increasing Defence spend, military modernization plans, and strong engineering base. India's capital expenditure for Defence procurement is expected to be around INR 15,00,000-18,00,000 crore (USD200-250 billion) over the next 10 years and 'Make in India' has been the government cornerstone to promote indigenous Defence production in the country.
Given the increasing focus on self-reliance, the Ministry of Defence (MoD), has set a target of doubling the Defence production to INR 180,0000 crore (USD25 billion) by 2025.The current indigenous Defence production is estimated to reach INR90,000 crore (USD12.5 billion) in 2019-20 and in order to achieve the targeted annual growth rate of ~15 percent the MoD is focusing on boosting Defence exports.
