India has set a target of Rs 50,000 crore in defence exports by which year?

  1. A.2027
  2. B.2029
  3. C.2030
  4. D.2035

Correct answer

B. 2029

Explanation

The correct answer is 2029. After the earlier goal of Rs 30,000 crore in annual defence exports was met in the previous year, the government fixed a higher goal of Rs 50,000 crore to be reached by 2029. The rest of the options are years that sound plausible but carry no such commitment. Option A, 2027, is the financial year in which the current defence allocation of Rs 7.85 lakh crore has been provided, so it is easy to confuse with the export deadline. Option C and option D, 2030 and 2035, are round years often attached to other national missions and are wrong here. The reason the target is considered reachable is the demand abroad for Indian missiles, radars, ammunition and platforms, which the Minister said reflects confidence in Indian technology, quality and delivery.

What is India's defence allocation for the financial year 2026-27?

  1. A.Rs 2.53 lakh crore
  2. B.Rs 5.94 lakh crore
  3. C.Rs 6.81 lakh crore
  4. D.Rs 7.85 lakh crore
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Rs 7.85 lakh crore

The comparison the Minister drew is the part worth memorising: the same allocation stood at around Rs 2.53 lakh crore in 2013-14, which makes option A a real figure but from the wrong year, and therefore the most attractive distractor in the set.

  4. D.Private firms will be barred from missile manufacturing on security grounds

Correct answer: A. DRDO-developed conventional missile technologies will be transferred to eligible Indian industries for production

The purpose is twofold: the armed forces get their missiles delivered on time, and DRDO is freed to concentrate on research and development while industry takes up the production load.
