Defence Minister Rajnath Singh announced on Monday (April 1) that the country’s defence exports have reached “unprecedented heights,” surpassing the Rs 21,000 crore mark for the first time in the history of Independent India.

In a post on social media platform X, he expressed his delight, stating, “Delighted to inform everyone that Indian Defence Exports have reached unprecedented heights and crossed the Rs 21,000 crore mark for the first time in the history of Independent India!”
