World’s Prime Weapon Producers: India has achieved a serious milestone in increasing its indigenous defence business beneath the ‘Make in India’ and ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiatives. The Stockholm Worldwide Peace Analysis Institute (SIPRI) launched its newest report on December 1, 2025, itemizing the highest 100 arms-producing corporations worldwide. India proudly has three corporations included within the prestigious rating.
Which Indian Corporations Made The Checklist?
Based on the report, the Hindustan Aeronautics Restricted (HAL), which produces the Mild Fight Plane (LCA) Tejas fighter jet, ranks forty fourth among the many world’s high arms producers. The Bharat Electronics Restricted (BEL), recognized for its radar and digital warfare methods, secured the 58th place.
In the meantime, the Mazagon Dockyard Restricted (MDL), a serious producer of warships and submarines, has been positioned at 91st within the SIPRI record.
US Dominates The Checklist
The report highlights that 4 of the highest 5 world arms producers are primarily based in the USA, together with the Lockheed Martin, the RTX, the Northrop Grumman and the Common Dynamics. The one non-American firm within the high 5 is the UK-based BAE Programs, which holds the fourth place.
File Revenues
Titled ‘The SIPRI Prime 100 Arms-Producing and Navy Companies Corporations, 2024’, the report states that gross sales from the world’s main arms producers reached a file $679 billion in 2024.
The mixed income of three of the highest corporations of the United State (the Lockheed Martin, the Northrop Grumman and the Common Dynamics) rose by 3.8 p.c to $334 billion in 2024. Out of the highest 100 corporations globally, 39 are from the USA, and 30 of those recorded income development over the 12 months.
This rating not solely highlights the dominance of American and European defence corporations but in addition indicators the rising power and world relevance of India’s defence manufacturing sector.
With the HAL, the BEL and the MDL making their mark, India can also be establishing itself as a critical participant within the world arms market.
