“Prior to 2014, we were able to export (defence) for between 900 and 1,300 crore. We have now exported goods worth more than 30,000 crore after all these years. We may increase the export objective (this year) by another 8,000–9,000 crore, Singh added, as reported by PTI.
The 12th DefExpo’s theme, “Path to Pride,” is in accordance with PM Modi’s goal of making India a powerful and independent country through promoting, displaying, and forming partnerships for the country’s aerospace and defence manufacturing industries with domestic as well as international clients.

The seven new defence businesses that were created from the former Ordnance Factory Board will all be participating at DefExpo for the first time in 2022, which will also commemorate a year since their inception.
