💨 Abstract

India, previously the top arms importer, has moved to second place globally in 2024 with an 8.3% share, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). The decrease in Indian arms imports by 9.3% between 2015-19 and 2020-24 is attributed to its growing ability to produce weapons locally, reducing dependence on imports.
