India defense exports surge past 38000 crore as Operation Sindoor boosts global demand

A 96 hour test turned into export orders

India’s defence industry is hitting a milestone, with exports rising beyond 38,000 crore rupees. The jump is credited to the success of Operation Sindoor, a tightly timed 96-hour engagement that showcased the performance of homegrown systems. With global buyers taking notice, flagship technologies such as the BrahMos missile and Akash-NG air defence are emerging as key drivers of the export boom.
