Key highlights:

DPSU Surge: Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs) saw a massive 150% increase in exports.

The "Concentration Effect": India has found a major partner in Armenia, which recently imported approximately $2 billion in Akash missiles, rocket launchers, and howitzers as they seek to diversify away from traditional suppliers.

Shifting Global Demand: In an era of global stockpiling, there is a rising demand for cheaper, easier-to-produce platforms that can withstand the logistical pressures of modern conflict.

The Private Sector Gap: While DPSUs are leading the charge, true long-term growth requires the integration of innovative startups and private players into the global supply chain, mirroring successful models like South Korea.

Geopolitical Strategy: Moving beyond just manufacturing, defence trade acts as a "stabilizing glue" between nations, providing India with strategic leverage and reducing heavy dependence on imports.
