Private sector share in defence production hits record 22.56% in FY 2024-25
For the third consecutive year, the contribution of private manufacturers to India's total defence production has increased. According to data from the Department of Defence Production, private sector companies contributed ₹33,979 crore (22.56%) to the total defence production of ₹1,50,590 crore in financial year 2024-25. This marks the highest share of private sector participation since 2016-17, when it stood at 19%. In FY 2024-25, defence public sector undertakings (DPSUs) accounted for 57.50% of the total defence production, while Indian ordnance factories contributed 14.49%, and non-defence PSUs 5.4%. Since the opening of the defence manufacturing sector to private players in 2016-17, the contribution of private companies has ranged between 19% and 20%. It stood at 19.39% in 2022-23 and 20.93% in 2023-24, reflecting a steady upward trend. The larger share of production, however, continues to come from the Ordnance Factory Board, DPSUs, other PSUs, and joint ventures. According to the Ministry of Defence, India's defence budget has witnessed a steady rise — from ₹2.53 lakh crore in 2013-14 to ₹6.81 lakh crore in 2025-26. In 2024-25, the country achieved its highest-ever defence production of ₹1.50 lakh crore, more than three times the ₹46,429 crore recorded in 2014-15. 34-fold growth in exports India's defence exports have also surged — from ₹686 crore in 2013-14 to ₹23,622 crore in 2024-25, a 34-fold increase that underscores the government's push for a self-reliant and globally competitive defence industry, the Ministry said. Today, India exports defence equipment to over 100 countries, with the U.S., France, and Armenia, emerging as the top three destinations in 2023-24. To foster private sector participation, the government has introduced several schemes, including Innovations for Defence Excellence (iDEX), the Defence Testing Infrastructure Scheme (DTIS), the Acing Development of Innovative Technologies with iDEX (ADITI) Scheme, and the Technology Development Fund (TDF). In addition, initiatives such as Make in India and the Positive Indigenisation Lists aim to boost innovation, indigenous manufacturing, and self-reliance in the defence sector.

Bombay HC quashes notice issued by magistrate to HDFC Bank CEO in criminal defamation complaint
The Bombay High Court earlier this month quashed a notice issued to HDFC Bank and its Managing Director and CEO Sashidhar Jagdishan by the magistrate court in a criminal defamation complaint filed by Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta Medical Trust (LKMM Trust), which oversees the Lilavati Hospital in Bandra (West). The HC held that the Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC), Girgaon had issued notice to Jagdishan in contravention of procedure laid down under the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS). The magistrate on the same day issued notice to the Bank, Jagdishan and others. The Trust, in its criminal complaint had alleged that the Bank and Jagdishan had made 'malicious and derogatory' statements against the Trust and its permanent trustee Prashant Mehta. Aggrieved by the notice issued in criminal defamation complaint, Jagdishan approached the HC. Senior advocates Ravi Kadam and Sudeep Pasbola for Jagdishan argued that the magistrate had issued the notice on the same day the complaint was filed and order to issue notice was made without recording complainant's sworn verification, which was mandated as per the law. On the other hand, senior advocate Aabad Ponda for the Trust argued that the magistrate was entitled to issue notice before taking cognisance of the case. The Trust argued that section 223 of Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) provided that the court has to hear the accused before taking cognisance of the complaint, which the court rejected and said the same was incorrect if the main provision and the proviso of the section were considered together. Justice Shriram M Modak emphasised that verification of complainant and witnesses after filing of private complaint was necessary and the proposed accused was required to be heard. 'If we consider the chronology, it shows that after filing of complaint there has to be verification of the complainant and witnesses and when prior to decision on taking cognizance is taken, the accused needs to be heard. Hearing the accused cannot be interpreted prior to recording the verification and the statement of witnesses if any,' Justice Modak observed. 'There is a purpose of recording the verification. It gives an opportunity to the Magistrate to ascertain whether to proceed further or not, the judge added and quashed and set aside the order of issuance of notice to proposed accused Jagdishan. The court clarified that the magistrate was at liberty to proceed with the matter by recording the verification of the Complainant and all witnesses, if any and then pass the appropriate order. The Trust has also filed a defamation suit in Bombay HC against the HDFC Bank and Jagdishan seeking damages of Rs. 1,000 crore and the same is pending before the court. Meanwhile, Jagdishan had filed a criminal writ petition challenging FIR registered against him on a complaint filed by the Trust, accusing him of accepting a bribe of Rs 2.05 crore to help a group consisting of one Chetan Mehta and other erstwhile trustees to retain alleged illegal control over the trust. The next hearing on Jagdishan's writ plea is scheduled on August 20.

As Wang Yi meets Modi, India and China signal cautious reset amid export assurances, border talks
NEW DELHI: Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday, a day after assuring External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar that Beijing will resume critical exports to India — including fertilisers, rare earth minerals, and tunnel boring machines — addressing three long-pending Indian demands. The move, a key signal of thawing ties, came ahead of the 24th round of India-China border talks in New Delhi earlier in the day. The export assurance was viewed as a significant confidence-building measure. Sources told TNIE that in his bilateral talks with his Chinese counterpart, Jaishankar underlined India's expectation of stable, uninterrupted supply chains for essential inputs — an issue he had raised with Beijing earlier as well. They added that Wang had responded positively, committing to facilitate the flow of these vital goods. Meanwhile, the MEA said that Jaishankar raised India's concerns regarding the construction of a mega dam on the lower reaches of the Yarlung Tsangpo river during his meeting with Wang. Later in the day after the border talks, the Chinese foreign minitser called on PM Modi, who said both sides have made steady progress guided by respect for each other's interests and sensitivities. PM Modi 'welcomed the steady and positive progress in bilateral ties since his meeting with President Xi in Kazan last year, guided by mutual respect, mutual interest and mutual sensitivity, including the resumption of the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra,' an Indian readout said. Modi 'reiterated India's commitment to a fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable resolution of the boundary question.' Accepting the Chinese President Xi Jinping's invitation to attend the upcoming SCO Summit in Tianjin, Modi said he looked forward to meeting Xi again. 'Stable, predictable, and constructive bilateral ties will contribute significantly to regional and global peace and prosperity,' he said. 'Our leaders have given us the direction, and we must now translate that into durable progress,' Wang told Jaishankar, referring to the Modi-Xi meeting in Kazan in October 2024. National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, who led the border talks, highlighted the calm since disengagement last year. 'Borders have been quiet, there has been peace and tranquility, and our bilateral engagements have become more substantial,' Doval said. 'The new environment that has been created has helped us move ahead.' Amid the renewed diplomatic exchanges, Indian government sources clarified there was no change in India's position on Taiwan. 'India has always maintained a relationship with Taiwan focused on economic, technological, and cultural ties; that has not changed,' a source said. Notably, India has been supporting the 'One China' policy, though its reflection in joint statements remained absent ever since Beijing began issuing stapled visa to Indian nationals in Arunachal Pradesh in 2008.
