Q1Match the exporter category with the growth rate in defence exports for FY 2025-26 over the previous financial year, using the PIB release dated 2 April 2026. List I 1. Private firms 2. Defence Public Sector Undertakings List II a. 14% b. 151% Which code is correct?
The correct pairing for the tested fact is private firms with a 14% increase in FY 2025-26. Pairings that put private firms at 151% confuse the private sector growth rate with the DPSU growth rate. The pairing using 62.66% brings in the overall defence export growth rate, not the private firms' increase.
Q2Consider the following Assertion and Reason about support to Indian defence exporters: Assertion: The Department of Defence Production supports exporters through a revamped online portal and a simplified Standard Operating Procedure for export authorisations. Reason: The cited government release identifies these two measures as the Department of Defence Production's exporter-support mechanisms. Select the correct answer.
The Assertion is true because the sourced fact says the Department of Defence Production supports exporters through a revamped online portal and a simplified Standard Operating Procedure for export authorisations. The Reason is also true and directly explains the Assertion because it points to the same two mechanisms named in the government release. Claims that the Assertion is false, that the Reason is false, or that the Reason is unrelated do not fit the cited fact.
Q3Match the reported FY 2023-24 defence export figure with its approximate dollar equivalent as given in the PIB release. List I 1. Defence exports in rupee terms 2. Approximate US dollar equivalent List II a. Rs 21,083 crore b. US$ 2.63 billion c. Rs 15,920 crore d. US$ 5.00 billion
The correct pairing is defence exports in rupee terms with Rs 21,083 crore, and the approximate dollar equivalent with US$ 2.63 billion. Rs 15,920 crore belongs to FY 2022-23, while US$ 5.00 billion is not the approximate equivalent reported for FY 2023-24.
Q4According to the Ministry of Defence figures released around the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor on 7 May 2026, what were India's total defence exports for FY 2025-26?
According to Ministry of Defence data released to mark the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor, total defence exports for FY 2025-26 were Rs 38,424 crore, a 62.6 per cent year-on-year surge.
Q5According to the PIB factsheet on Atmanirbharta in the Defence Sector, which were the top three destinations for India's defence exports in FY 2023-24?
The PIB factsheet identifies the USA, France and Armenia as the top three destinations for India's defence exports in FY 2023-24. Israel, the Philippines, Brazil, Russia, Vietnam, Egypt, Japan and South Africa are plausible defence or strategic partners, but they are not the three destinations named in the cited fact.
