India registers highest ever defence exports, but remains world’s largest arms importers 

Indians, remember YOU are RESPONSIBLE for this news. YOU elected MODIJI. Before 2014, there were internal party targets for corruption in defence deals. Remember how RaGa tried to scuttle the purchase of Rafaele to enable China to maintain air force superiority? Remember AK Anthony's comment about not buying defence equipment to avoid scams?? I would have NEVER expected to see such news before 2014. Thanks to 🇮🇳 and Indians for electing Modiji and the BJP. My head used to hang in shame when I used to see the UPA, it's corruption, its minority appeasement and how PM MMS was treated by pappu and his party. Like the rest of the world, I too was shocked to see the UPA give a non response to 26/11 due to their vote bank politics. If we don't want to return to those days, it's Modi and BJP again in 2024 🙏💪

India is like a student who used to get fail marks. Now he is getting 60. Some idiots would ask why he is not getting more than 90

If this is not a major change in the Indian defence ecosystem, what is? As usual, the defence PSUs are trailing the private sector defence industry.

The removal of the bureaucratic hurdle in every department by this govt. is commendable.

India is becoming Bharat Slowly but surely

SAPhillip is a delight to hear as always. Filled with precise details objective analysis, sharp narration. Phillip pl can you do a special series on the legacy of our Defence purchases and manufacturing eco system ? Political Rent seeking, Global arms lobbies, Bureacratese, stymied PSUs- all of it. And how we are changing the eco system. The nation deserves to know. You are our best man for that research.

As always in depth analysis. Always look forward to your videos. Can you also share the value of imports over the years? It missing in this analysis. Would be interesting to know the trends for defence import country wise if possible.

Excellent job snehesh, @ThePrint this young man needs more budget to do more stories!

Hi Snehesh, please clarify, How much/many of these exports will have possible scope of recurring orders, reorders, upgrade and maintenance/parts orders which will create long term sustainable benefits to Indian entities and other subsidiaries?

Modi hai to Mumkin hai😌🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Why don't opposition apparently appreciate it 🙃

Major import was S4000 , Rafel

These are all still Baby Setps. The Real Indian Giant is yet to awake with Full Potential. This will happen in next 10 - 15 Years once India starts to show signs of a Developed First World Nation, When its Infrastructure is improved, GDP Improves, Innovation is at its height and Indian Companies have become Global.

Team Print, a job well done, always

Informative video

Am I the only one who thinks defense import is also good news, atleast it shows our government importing more and more weapons which is also strengthening armed forces.

Government is selling stakes in HAL thats also a very good news.

One of my favourite journalists! ❤

I think the major import was S400 and Raffaele?

Hail Modi ji!!!

काँग्रेस के जमाने मे export सिर्फ हजार करोड रुपये था. आज 13 हजार करोड रूपये है. आठ साल मे 13 हजार करोड रूपये.

Modi government is really working to develop India. Thanks to BJP.

Without "peace ☪", defense industry dies..

Jai Hinduja. With digital rupee, we Indians dominate world's arms trade.

Not everything is true, Cuz 12 out of 30 subs planned are Commissioned or under Construction at Indian shipyards (6 Kalvari Class and 6 Arihant Class Nuke Powdered Subs) and Besides P-75I, There is P-75 Alpha Under Pipelines(6 Nuke Attack Subs worth $ 15 Billion)and An Extra P-76 with 6 subs Was also Proposed to Bypass Slowing P-75I and The Manufacturing Ecosystem is ready, All we need is Drastic Reforms in Defence Procurement Process and Without any Dought Corrupt Khangress (Just like in many Areas of India)is solely responsible for this Bureaucratic Hurdles and The Slow Procurement Process and Dependence on Inferior Russian Tech and Military Equipment which are Miserably Failing Against the Advanced Powerful Western Made Military Equipment as Clearly Evident in Ukraine, And Thank God Modi Govt. Is Moving towards Western Companies and India Private Sector Firms Collaboration like Kalyani-Bharat Forge, TATA-Boeing, Adani-Israeli Firms,TATA-AIRBUS, TATA-Lockheed and Sikorsky, Mahindra-BAE, Dassault Saab, Hanwaa-L&T etc breaking the Disastrous Russian and Indian PSU combination which plagued India until Now

WE SHOULD FOCUS ON EXPORT OF ARMS RATHER IMPORT IF WE WANT TO BE SUPER POWER UP TO 2047

Please make the PPT without spelling mistakes

India need to reverse system of defence technology ,airforce engine ,self reliance in advanced technology

EUCs not being issued by Governments and exporting manufacturing know-how don't seem to be smart steps. Rest is long overdue.

Where is the documents

It's just a beginning, over all exports are less than 1% of global trade

Remove Rafales and S400 from the import bill

Woh much is the exarration

India needs to buy aircrafts and not wait for Tejas MK2 which being HAL is delayed.

Fir bhi BJP ko vote nhi denge bhai... #sarcasm

2 thousand cr to 14thousand cr in 7 years doesnt sounds something extraordinary. If we don't export some critical tech and expensive items like jets, ships, missile defense systems, which we don't have much except brahmos and tejas, we will continue at this pace which isnt taking us to any significant position in terms of global export rankings

Made in India & Export Quality 🤫

Stop the creating of magic wand rffect

Guyana will get India weapons too! 🇬🇾🇮🇳

first comment

Then what about Gandhi and nonviolence

Adani defence 😂😂😂😂

Mudi must resign

You talk as if this is an achievement. India can't make any thing of international standards. All gas nothing real on the ground.
