Govt’s announcement of $130 Bn defence renewal project attract manufacturers interest

By February 26, 2021 1:47 pm IST

Union Defense Minister Rajnath Singh has outlined a spending program to modernise India’s armed forces at the Aero India show, over an eight-year time frame.

Defense Minister Rajnath Singh outlined a spending program over an eight-year time frame to modernise India’s armed forces at the Aero India show held in the southern Indian city of Bangalore. It follows the government’s decision to increase to its capital expenditure, the component that funds purchases of weapons, in its defense budget for fiscal 2021, starting in April, by more than 19% to 1.35 trillion rupees ($18.6 billion) from 1.13 trillion rupees the previous year. The increase in amount is the largest in 15 years according to a Defense Ministry statement. This fund is non-lapsable for the first time ever, allowing it to roll over next year if the negotiation for weapon purchases drags.

Among new contracts up for grabs is for the Indian Air Force to acquire 114 medium fighters. Boeing, Lockheed Martin, SAAB and MiG are among the contenders for the estimated $25 billion contract.
