In a series of posts on X to commemorate 11 years of the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh shared how India's defence exports had grown multi-fold during this period and shifted the country from import dependence.

As per a report by Times Of India, the data showed that the value of exports surged from Rs 1,940 crore in 2014-15 to Rs 23,622 crore in 2024-25.

Singh wrote, "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 continued, "As we celebrate #11YearsOfRakshaShakti, we honour India's stride towards strength, self-reliance and strategic global leadership."

Singh noted, "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."

PM Modi, along with his Council of Ministers took oath for the third time on 9 June last year.
