India is selling defense gear to countries like the US
India's defense exports reached a record ₹23,622 crore, with the US and France as key buyers of Indian-made electronics, while countries like Armenia are picking up full systems like Akash air-defense and Pinaka rocket launchers.
A wide range of products
It's not just missiles—India is selling everything from Tejas fighter jets and Dhruv helicopters to BrahMos missiles, Arjun tanks, patrol vessels, radars, and even bulletproof jackets.
This mix shows how much India's defense manufacturing game has leveled up.
Why are countries buying from India?
Global conflicts have countries in Southeast Asia and Africa looking for alternatives to Russian or Chinese gear—and India fits the bill.
Plus, with the government pushing self-reliance and talks of teaming up with the US on supply chains, India is positioning itself to significantly increase its exports in the coming years.
