Sharing some data on defence exports, Singh underlined the government’s thrust on ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Make in India’ initiatives.
India’s defence exports have risen to Rs 23,622 crore in 2024-25 from Rs 1,940 crore in 2014-15, he said.
He also highlighted India’s first indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, first indigenous multi-role combat helicopter LCH Prachand and the country’s missile capabilities.
“In the last 11 years, under the bold and visionary leadership of PM Shri @narendramodi, India’s defence sector has transformed remarkably from a largely import-driven model to becoming a trusted global exporter,” Singh said.
“Powered by #AatmanirbharBharat and #MakeInIndia, this journey has led to record-high defence exports to 100+ countries, indigenous milestones like LCH Prachand, Tejas fighter jets, BrahMos missile production and the rise of defence corridors attracting massive investments,” he said.
As “we celebrate #11YearsOfRakshaShakti, we honour India’s stride towards strength, self-reliance and strategic global leadership”, he said.
In another post, Singh shared a video titled ‘Self-reliant defence: Strengthening Tomorrow’s Bharat’ depicting India’s counter-terrorism stance, including Operation Sindoor, various military exercises, patrolling by troops, drop in insurgency cases in the northeast, and ‘Nari Shakti’ in the armed forces.
“In the #11YearsOfRakshaShakti, India’s defence sector has undergone a historic transformation under PM Shri @narendramodi’s inspiring leadership which has resulted into stronger borders, modern armed forces, indigenous weapons, record defence exports and global trust. A proud stride towards self-reliance,” Singh said.
