The Indian defense sector has witnessed significant growth over the past few years, driven by the government’s focus on self-reliance through the “Atmanirbhar Bharat” initiative. With increasing defense budgets and strategic emphasis on modernizing military equipment, India is actively promoting indigenous defense manufacturing.
Key players in this sector include Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), known for its defense electronics; Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), a leader in aircraft manufacturing; and Bharat Forge, which specializes in artillery systems and military vehicles. Larsen & Toubro (L&T) is also a major contributor to defense infrastructure and weaponry systems.
Additionally, companies like Mahindra Defence Systems and Ashok Leyland are involved in manufacturing military vehicles, reinforcing India’s growing defense capabilities. The sector’s expansion is supported by advancements in technology and innovation, propelling India toward becoming a global defense manufacturing hub.
