The new government’s defence allocation for 2024-25 is almost the same amount that it allocated in the Interim Budget presented in February.

As against Rs 6,21,541 crore that the central government had set aside for defence spending in February, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced the allocation of Rs 6.21 trillion for national defence on Tuesday — up by just Rs 400 crore.

It remains to be seen how the current allocation fares as a percentage of government defence spending during the year.
