Defence budget may get Rs 50,000-crore boost amid Operation Sindoor: Report
New Delhi: The Indian government is reportedly considering a significant boost to its defence budget, with a proposed additional allocation of Rs 50,000 crore for the purchase of weapons, ammunition, and technology following the recent Operation Sindoor.
This move, according to a report by India Today, may be approved during the Winter session of Parliament through a supplementary budget.
The extra funds would be directed towards addressing the armed forces' requirements, essential procurements, and enhancing research and development capabilities.
The Union Budget allocated a record Rs 6.81 lakh crore to the defence sector this year, marking a 9.53 percent increase from the previous year. Over the past decade, the NDA government has nearly tripled the defence budget. In 2014-15, the budget stood at Rs 2.29 lakh crore, while this year's allocation now accounts for 13.45 percent of the total national budget.
