After historic defeat by Pakistan in May India soars its annual defence production to all-time high
Islamabad: After the historic defeat by Pakistan in May 2025, India has soared its annual defence production to an all-time high of Rs 1,50,590 crore in the 2024-25 financial year.
According to Kashmir Media Service, this is 18 percent more than the production of Rs 1.27 lakh crore in the previous financial year, while India’s defense production has increased by 90 percent since the financial year 2019-20 when this figure was Rs 79,071 crore.
Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs) and other PSUs accounted for approximately 77 per cent of the total production, while the private sector contributed 23 per cent.
The share of the private sector, which increased from 21 per cent in the 2023-24 FY to 23 per cent in the 2024-25 FY reflects the sector’s growing role in the defence ecosystem of India.
The overall production of DPSUs and private sector has increased by 16 per cent and 28 per cent respectively in 2024-25.
Separately, defence exports have been to the tune of Rs 23,622 crore in 2024-25. It was a growth of Rs 2,539 crore or 12.04 per cent over the defence export figure of the 2023-24 FY, which was Rs 21,083 crore.
India is continuously increasing its defence production to establish its dominance in the region, promote its war frenzy and push the region into an arms race.
It should be noted that India is also the top importer of defence equipment.
Analysts say that India is continuously stockpiling sophisticated weapons to establish its hegemony in the region and to suppress and provoke its neighboring countries so as to disrupt the balance of power in the region.
They say that due to this policy of India, the entire South Asian region is unstable, which is also a threat to global peace and security.
Analysts say the Indian government has established a network of intelligence agencies not only in its own country but also around the world to suppress freedom of expression and dissent in the country, which is targeting activists demanding their democratic rights and fundamental freedoms.
On one hand, India claims to be the world’s largest democracy, and on the other, it is targeting religious minorities within the country and political dissenters abroad with state terrorism, the evidence of which the world has seen.
There is a need for the international community, including the United Nations, to take immediate notice of India’s war madness and take concrete steps against India to save the region from instability.
