India's defence production soars to record Rs 1.51 lakh cr in FY 2024-25, Rajnath lauds DPSUs, private industry
This significant rise reflects a remarkable 90 percent increase since FY 2019-20, when the figure stood at Rs 79,071 crore.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh lauded the collective efforts of the Department of Defence Production and all stakeholders including DPSUs, public sector manufacturers, and the private industry in achieving this landmark. He termed the upward trajectory as a clear indicator of India's strengthening defence industrial base.
The DPSUs and other PSUs accounted for approximately 77 percent of total production, while the private sector contributed 23 percent. The share of the private sector, which increased from 21 percent in FY 2023-24 to 23 percent in FY 2024-25, reflects the sector's growing role in the defence ecosystem of the country.
Both public and private segments of the industry have demonstrated consistent year-on-year growth, attributed to far-reaching policy reforms, enhanced ease of doing business, and a strategic focus on indigenisation over the past decade. The overall production of DPSUs and private sector has increased by 16 percent and 28 percent respectively in FY 2024-25.
This record-setting achievement underscores the growing momentum of the Government's push to self-reliance in defence manufacturing under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative. The emphasis to reduce the dependency on imports and create a defence industrial complex that not only caters to India's needs but also strengthens the potential of exports has shown positive results.
It may be recalled that the defence exports have surged to a record high of Rs 23,622 crore in FY 2024-25. It was a growth of Rs 2,539 crore or 12.04 percent over the defence exports figures of FY 2023-24, which were Rs 21,083 crore.
With sustained policy support, increased private participation, and expanding export capabilities, India's defence production sector is poised for continued acceleration in the years ahead.
