In June, Minister Rajnath Singh emphasized that the export increase of military items, especially to neighboring nations, will be one of the thrust areas of his cabinet in the next five years. He stated that exports in the 2023-24 fiscal year have reached a historical record of almost $2.5 billion. The goal in the 2028-2029 financial year has been set for $6 billion.
Meanwhile, GRSE said in a statement on Monday that it will deliver the naval vessel, estimated at a $21-million construction cost, to Bangladesh in the next 24 months.
