AeroDef India 2027 — 2nd edition

Defence Mobility
Manufacturing Expo

Transforming India's defence mobility through innovation, integration and collaboration — armoured vehicles, tactical mobility, UGVs and battlefield logistics.

Briefing

Opportunity backdrop

India's defence mobility sector is entering a high-growth phase, with the market outlook estimated at USD 100–120 billion — making mobility platforms one of the fastest-growing procurement segments in Indian defence.

The pipeline is concrete, not aspirational. Programmes like the Future Ready Combat Vehicle (~1,770 units) and Future Infantry Combat Vehicle (~1,750 units) alone represent a multi-year opportunity.

Record capital is behind it. A ₹7.85 lakh crore (~USD 90B) defence budget for 2026-27, up 15% YoY, reserves 75% of capital acquisition (₹1.39 lakh crore) for domestic industry.

Internal security adds a second demand pool. A parallel ₹2.55 lakh crore MHA budget, with capital expenditure up 84% YoY, is driving equally strong demand for police and paramilitary mobility platforms.

Two named programmes and a domestic-first capital policy turn this from pipeline talk into a procurement segment you can plan a factory around.
