Should the government increase or decrease military spending?

current percentage should be spend like not more then 2.5 % but over all focus should be increasing over economy so from 71 billion dollar defense budget increase to like 1 trillion dollar or something

Increase but focus on modernization

Only at times of emergencies

No comments.

Try to hold dialogue with neigbours and increase business activity with the border nations

Remain same as percentage of gdp as of now

Depends on the intension of our neighbouring countries and our own relationship with them. If we have hostile neighbours, we surely should increase our spending

Government should try to decrease there dependence on other countries for weapons.

Indian Military is reactionary and Anti-Proletariat

Should not spend more than 2% of the GDP.

If not politically exploited, any decision taken will be of interests of india

Need to increase spending on defense infrastructure and not pensions and salaries.

It totally depends on the need of the hour and forecast.

Govt should increase spending on tackling cyber warfare

Should aim to produce ammunition domestically rather than spending on buying it from outside.

Increase, but focus on modernization and R&D instead of pensions and salaries

Increase, however, actively pursue Indigenization

Increase but source it to companies who are following 'make in India'

Go for military modernization

The government should increase the military spending but first it should ensure proper management of resources at hand with a well laid out plan otherwise its just a gateway to corruption

Keep unchanged, but reduce non value add outflow

I have read that most part of defence budget goes towards pensions and other indirect costs. That should be reduced such that more part of the budget actually goes towards defence diversification, modifications etc.

Increase Capital Expenditure and reduce Revenue Expenditure

Neither, but improve allocation of resources.

Reduce pensions and salaries. But increase defence capex

Depends on current geopolitical situations & threats we have

Increase must match our GDP growth.

Need based spending to be done

yes but only after government improve transparency in military budget and procurement procedures

Increased or decreased on the basis of geo-political conditions and border relations.

Till how much can the economy handle

Most of our amount govt. Spend on military spend as pension or salary With such a huge amount of money that goes like this we cannot invest or purchase better quality need a better investment plan for that.

The spending definitely should be increased but not at the cost of other necessary expenditures

Be balanced in spending

The government should increase military spending with a focus on 'Atmnirbhar Bharat'

Yes, with focus on RnD and developing the domestic arms market

keep the percentage the same but grow the gdp as if that happens the spending will grow organically

Increase,with more focus on indigenous research and development.

Increase, but more on R&D and developing our domestic arms market

Make peace with neighbours

Increase spending on Defense Tech by huge amount, decrease spending on buying equipment, drastically decrease the size of the military

Govt should invest in developing new indigenous technology.

Decease own investment and encourage private entrepreneurs to play

Yes, keeping in mind our hostile neighborhood, the govt should definitely increase the military budget.

The government should improve our Economy so that more money is available for military

It depends according to the situation.

If you have any threat from other then Increase and If Not then Decrease if you do and live good with others then they will not harm to you.

Drastically increase the military budget by redirecting funds after dismantling the welfare state.

Regulate according to situation
