Defence stocks jumps up to 20% as India and Germany boost military budgets

India’s defence sector is a strategic pillar of national security and economic growth. With a defence budget of Rs 6.81 lakh crore ($78 billion) in 2025, India ranks third globally in military spending. The nation boasts over 1.44 million active personnel and exports defence products to 75+ countries, supporting modernization and self-reliance initiatives. 

On Tuesday, German lawmakers approved a spending package to unlock billions in debt financing for defence and infrastructure. They also plan to exempt defence spending, exceeding 1% of GDP, from the debt ceiling, lifting constitutional borrowing restrictions to enhance military funding and national security investments. 

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz called the move to unlock billions in military spending a crucial step toward a broader European defence alliance, including non-EU nations like the UK and Norway. European countries are launching a “Rearm Europe” initiative to strengthen defence against potential Russian aggression in the region. 

India’s defence exports surged 32.5 percent to Rs 21,000 crore in FY24, reaching over 100 countries, with the US, France, and Armenia as top buyers, per an October 2024 PIB release. Most defence stocks are now recovering after a 30-60 percent correction from their all-time highs in 2024.
