Akash Goes Global: Why India’s Air Defence System Matters Beyond Central Asia India’s Akash air-defence system has moved from an indigenous military programme to an export product with customers across the South Caucasus and Central Asia. The significance is bigger than another missile sale: it shows India beginning to compete for influence in a defence market historically shaped by Russia and increasingly contested by China, Turkey and other suppliers. For decades, the map of India’s defence relationships was relatively easy to read. Russia was central to India’s military hardware ecosystem. Western suppliers occupied important niches. Israel became a significant technology partner. And China was largely viewed as the strategic competitor rather than a market opportunity. That map is changing. India’s indigenous Akash surface-to-air missile system has now been exported to Armenia, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, according to Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh. Armenia was the first foreign customer and acquired multiple batteries; Singh subsequently confirmed exports to Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. He described Akash as one of India’s defence-sector success stories and said its production had stabilised. The geography is important. Armenia is in the South Caucasus. Tajikistan and Turkmenistan are in Central Asia. That distinction matters because the development is not

India’s Naval Defence Push Heads to Paris: Why Euronaval 2026 Matters for India’s Global Ambitions Standfirst: As Indian defence exports reach a record ₹38,424 crore, Euronaval 2026 offers a useful test of whether India can move beyond selling individual systems and build lasting industrial relationships in Europe and other maritime markets. India’s defence industry is entering an important new phase: from seeking foreign technology and equipment to competing for international customers, industrial partnerships and technology relationships of its own. That shift will receive a high-profile international test in Paris from 3–6 November 2026, when Euronaval, one of the world’s major naval defence exhibitions, brings together governments, naval forces, procurement agencies, defence companies and technology firms at Paris Nord Villepinte. The organisers describe the event as a meeting point for the global naval ecosystem and say it will bring together defence ministers, ambassadors, naval chiefs, procurement authorities, coastguard officials and defence-industry representatives. For India, however, the significance is larger than an exhibition. It comes at a time when the country’s defence exports have reached an unprecedented level and when India and the European Union have formally expanded their security and defence relationship. From defence buyer to defence partner India’s transformation is

India’s Military Strength in 2026: Beyond the Numbers How powerful is India’s military? It sounds like a question with a simple answer: count the soldiers, tanks, aircraft, ships and submarines. But modern military power is rather less cooperative than a spreadsheet. A country can have thousands of tanks and still face problems with maintenance. It can possess hundreds of aircraft but have fewer available for immediate operations. It can have a large navy but still need greater numbers of tankers, submarines and long-range surveillance systems. So when we look at India’s military strength in 2026, the interesting story is not simply how many weapons India possesses. It is how those numbers combine with geography, technology, manpower, industrial capacity and strategic deterrence. Open-source assessments currently place India among the world’s major military powers. GlobalMilitary’s 2026 assessment ranks India fourth globally and lists about 1.48 million active troops, approximately 1.16 million reserves, 2,256 military aircraft and 353 naval vessels. MilitaryCompare also places India fourth in its 2026 ranking, although its underlying figures differ somewhat. The differences are a useful reminder: military statistics are estimates, not cricket scores. A massive manpower base India’s greatest conventional military asset remains manpower. The latest open-source estimates

India’s Technology Moment: From Digital Scale to Global Innovation Power For years, the country’s global technology reputation was closely associated with software services, IT professionals and outsourcing. Today, the picture is considerably broader. India has built enormous digital infrastructure, created one of the world’s largest startup ecosystems and is increasingly positioning itself in artificial intelligence, advanced computing, semiconductors and other strategic technologies. But the more interesting question is not whether India has become a technology powerhouse. It is whether India can convert extraordinary scale into globally important innovation. From Aadhaar to UPI: India’s digital advantage One of India’s most significant technology achievements is not a single company or gadget. It is the creation of digital infrastructure capable of operating at national scale. Aadhaar provides a digital identity layer for more than a billion people, while the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has transformed everyday digital payments. This model of digital public infrastructure has attracted international attention because it demonstrates how technology can be built as shared infrastructure rather than remaining exclusively within individual commercial platforms. India’s strength is particularly visible in digital services. According to the World Intellectual Property Organization’s Global Innovation Index 2025, India ranked first globally in ICT services

How India’s Missile Programme Is Becoming a Major Defence Export Story For years, India’s defence industry was better known for what the country bought than what it sold. That equation is changing. At the centre of that change is BrahMos — the supersonic cruise missile jointly developed by India and Russia. What began as a major defence technology partnership has increasingly become an export story, with the Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia emerging as foreign customers and the United Arab Emirates among countries discussing a possible acquisition. The development matters not simply because missiles are being exported. It signals a broader change in India’s ambition: from being a major defence importer to becoming a credible supplier of sophisticated military systems. From the Philippines to Southeast Asia The first major breakthrough came in 2022. On January 28 that year, BrahMos Aerospace signed a contract with the Philippines’ Department of National Defense for a Shore-Based Anti-Ship Missile System. BrahMos itself described the agreement as an important step for India’s policy of promoting responsible defence exports. The Philippines subsequently became the first foreign operator of the system. Vietnam followed. On May 30, 2026, Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh publicly confirmed that India had signed
