India’s defence exports are growing at a record pace, touching ₹38,424 crore in FY26, a jump of nearly 63% from the previous year. While BrahMos remains India’s biggest defence export success story, the country’s next major global opportunity could come from a very different category of weapons. From long-range attack drones and loitering munitions to precision-guided weapons, advanced electronics and autonomous defence systems, the nature of modern warfare is rapidly changing and Indian defence companies are looking to capitalise on this shift. Could these smaller, smarter and potentially cheaper weapons become India’s next big defence export engine? And can India achieve its ambitious ₹50,000-crore defence export target by 2029-30? Watch the explainer to understand what could come after BrahMos and how India is positioning itself in the rapidly changing global defence market. #IndiaDefence #BrahMos #DefenceExports #IndianDefence #MakeInIndia #DRDO #DefenceTechnology #Drones #Mili
