What was the value of India's defence exports in 2025-26?

  1. A.Rs 21,083 crore
  2. B.Rs 30,000 crore
  3. C.Rs 38,424 crore
  4. D.Rs 50,000 crore

Correct answer

C. Rs 38,424 crore

Explanation

The correct answer is Rs 38,424 crore, a record figure for Indian defence exports in 2025-26, and a very steep rise from Rs 686 crore in 2013-14. Supplies went to more than 100 countries, which is why the Defence Minister described the country as moving from being an importer to a trusted global supplier. Option B, Rs 30,000 crore, is the export target that had been fixed and achieved in the previous year, so it is a genuine number but not the actual export value for 2025-26. Option D, Rs 50,000 crore, is the fresh target set for 2029 and therefore lies in the future. Option A, Rs 21,083 crore, is an invented amount. Remember the three numbers as a set, the achieved target, the record value and the next target.

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.
