Indian Defence Orders Surge Domestically
Indian companies that make defence equipment are getting more orders from within India than from other countries.
This is happening because the Indian government is buying faster and wants to support local companies.
Some companies, like Gopalan Aerospace, are seeing a big increase in local orders.
They expect to make more money next year because of this.
Other companies, like Rangsons, are also getting most of their orders from India and are investing money to make more products.
However, not all companies are seeing this change at the same speed.
Some still get most of their orders from other countries.
But even these companies are starting to see more interest from Indian customers.
Indian defence-tech startups and private manufacturers are seeing a surge in domestic orders over exports.
Gopalan Aerospace expects revenue to rise to ₹120–130 crore in 2025 from ₹80 crore in 2024 due to increased domestic orders.
Rangsons is investing ₹300 crore to expand manufacturing capacity to meet domestic demand.
Flying Wedge Defence and Aerospace still has a majority of its orders from exports, with only ₹3 crore from domestic orders.
Jeh Aerospace, primarily export-focused, is seeing a rise in interest from Indian customers.
