INDIA ON SUNDAY set aside ₹7.84 lakh crore as defence outlay for 2026-27 in a steep hike of 15% over last year's allocation of ₹6.81 lakh crore, with its military majorly focusing on boosting combat prowess in the face of increasing security challenges from China and Pakistan.

The increase in the defence outlay, including the budget for capital acquisition, against the backdrop of “historic success of Operation Sindoor” has further strengthened our resolve to make India's defence system even more robust, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said.
