India's defence exports increased from 600 to 21000!!!

Defence Minister said on his US visit that the government is constantly taking steps to achieve 'self-reliance' in the defence sector, which is very commendable. Positive indigenisation is being done on more than 5,000 items. The government is constantly trying to ensure that only domestic companies manufacture state-of-the-art defence items on indian soil. Before the Modi government came to power, the country's defence situation was not that strong. Before the Modi government came to power, India's defence exports were worth only Rs 600 crore.

When india can manufacture items here, then there is a need to sell them as well. After the Modi government came to power, the country has done development work. Due to this, defence exports from india have now increased to more than Rs 21,000 crore. Due to the steps taken to promote innovation in india, the number of start-ups in the country has increased to 1.20 lakh, which was around 400 in the year 2014. rajnath singh said that "We want to make developed india a strong, safe and prosperous nation". For this, the government is working at a fast pace.
