What figure for India's defence production in the financial year 2025-26 was cited at the Army Commanders' Conference?
- A.Rs 1.27 lakh crore
- B.Rs 1.78 lakh crore
- C.Rs 2.34 lakh crore
- D.Rs 95,000 crore
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Rs 1.78 lakh crore. The Raksha Mantri said defence production had surged to that record level in the financial year 2025-26, and that defence exports in the same period had reached an all-time high of about Rs 38,000 crore, both of which he attributed to the priority given to self-reliance in defence. Option A understates the figure and matches no number quoted at the conference. Option C overstates it, and nothing in the address pointed to production of that size. Option D is close to the export figure rather than the production figure, which is exactly the confusion a paper setter likes to create: candidates should keep the two apart, production at Rs 1.78 lakh crore and exports at roughly Rs 38,000 crore. Linking both figures to the financial year 2025-26 makes the pair easier to recall in the examination hall.
