Operation Sindoor Boosts India’s Defence Exports to New High

In a bold demonstration of strategic precision and technological self-reliance, Operation Sindoor has marked a significant shift in India’s military doctrine—one that blends tactical acumen with indigenous innovation. The operation was launched in response to the April 22 terrorist attack on unarmed tourists in Pahalgam, a brutal reminder of the evolving nature of asymmetric warfare that now increasingly targets civilians alongside military personnel.

India’s response was calculated and effective. Without breaching the Line of Control (LoC) or international boundaries, Indian armed forces neutralized several terrorist infrastructures, eliminating imminent threats while adhering to international norms. What made Operation Sindoor a defining moment wasn’t just its success on the ground—but the technology behind it.

From advanced drone warfare systems to layered air defence and sophisticated electronic warfare capabilities, the operation highlighted India’s growing reliance on homegrown defence tech. This shift toward indigenous solutions isn’t incidental; it is the result of sustained policy decisions and targeted investments over the past few years.

A key driver has been the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for drones and drone components, launched by the Ministry of Civil Aviation on September 30, 2021. With an incentive pool of ₹120 crore spread across FY 2021–22 to FY 2023–24, the scheme banned the import of foreign drones and propelled domestic R&D forward. Today, autonomous drones integrated with AI-based decision-making are no longer a distant dream but a fast-approaching reality.

Operation Sindoor’s successful deployment of such technologies is a clear indication that these policies are bearing fruit. The message is unmistakable: India is ready to meet modern security challenges with homegrown precision.

The results of these strategic investments are already visible beyond the battlefield. India’s defence exports touched a record ₹24,000 crore in FY 2024–25, and the nation has set its sights even higher—₹50,000 crore by 2029. By 2047, the centenary of independence, the aim is nothing less than becoming the world’s largest defence exporter.
