India’s Desperate Struggle To Get Into A First-world Exporter Club
- A definite mark of a developed country is its ability to build fighter jets and export them to other countries. A select few countries, including China, have this capability. The only developing country among them is Brazil. Now India is in a hurry to barge into this exclusive club of countries, determined as it is to grow into a world power.
- India has been in overdrive to sell its indigenously built light-combat aircraft Tejas, manufactured by state-owned HAL but has failed to find a customer so far. Yet, the frantic search for Tejas customers continues as India tries to boost its defence exports.
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set ambitions to more than triple the value of annual defence exports to $5 billion over the next two years and his government has been making diplomatic efforts to export the Tejas.
- China has hankered to become a major fighter jet exporter for some time but has failed, according to an article in Foreign Policy. Between 2000 and 2020, China exported just $7.2 billion worth of military aircraft, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute arms transfers database.
