India has granted initial clearance for $40 billion in defence spending, including additional Rafale jets and Boeing P-8I aircraft. This move aims to modernize the military amid rising tensions with neighboring countries. The Indian Air Force's fighter squadron has dwindled to 29, well below the required 42.
This significant investment may boost domestic manufacturing and defense stocks, reflecting a strategic shift in India's military capabilities.
