That’s exactly what happened in India’s Operation SINDOOR.
This wasn’t about tanks rolling over borders. It was about precision — striking the right target, at the right time, with the right tools — without even crossing into enemy territory. That’s what modern defence looks like.
And here’s the interesting part for investors and strategists like us:
India didn’t use imported tools. It used its own missiles and drones — Akash missiles and kamikaze drones, both built in India. This is a massive signal that India’s not just buying defence tech anymore — it’s building and deploying it.
That’s not small change. India has already spent ₹1.27 lakh crore on indigenous defence production. And it’s not stopping there.
There’s an entire ecosystem emerging:
- Over 550 drone startups in India (yes, startups!).
- ISRO satellites monitoring things in real-time.
- A new export record: ₹24,000 crore in defence products sold abroad.
The big picture?
India’s defence sector is transforming from a buyer to a builder — and eventually, a global exporter. The goal? ₹50,000 crore in defence exports by 2047.
In investing terms?
India’s defence is no longer a cost centre — it’s becoming a growth engine.
