In a major move to enhance India’s defence capabilities, the central government has approved proposals worth ₹79,000 crore for the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

The initiatives include procurement of advanced weapons, aircraft, submarines, and modern equipment to strengthen operational readiness across all three services.
