It seems that India's revinues have increased, so even when the amount allocated to defence has increased, it doesn't reflect as such as a percentage of GDP. I wonder what the Indian military has to spend as capital expenditure in 2022-23, by which I mean, what major military equipment does India need to procure and pay for in the current year? What is India purchasing from domestic arms manufacturers in significant numbers? Has the defence ministry spent all the funds allocated to the military last year, or have the remaining funds been allocated to the current year, too? <br /> Ajay, please keep us up to date on news to do with the IAC-2 and the SSN's that India wants to add to it's naval fleet.<br /> Why are naval projects getting delayed leading to huge cost overruns? This seems to be plaguing every major naval power, except for perhaps China.Aditya Mookerjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10561497022747584987noreply@blogger.com
