this is only a Predicted data, this paper is publised at March 2013, and predicted the data from "The buzz that the defence budget for the financial year 2013-14 (April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014) ", and predicted "Notably, the defence budget for 2013-14 accounts for approximately 1.79 per cent of the GDP."
By Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, India defence budget is 47.4billion $, 2.5% of GDP(1.9trillion $)

1.7% ？？？can you list the data of Indian GDP and defence spend ?
depend on Stockholm International Peace Research Institute
SIPRI Military Expenditure Database — www.sipri.org
India's defence spend/GDP from 1988 to 2013 (%) are
3.6 3.5 3.2 3 2.8 2.9 2.8 2.7 2.6 2.7 2.8 3.1 3.1 3 2.9 2.8 2.8 2.8 2.5 2.3 2.6 2.9 2.7 2.6 2.5 2.5

SIPRI are wrong in the way they measure things they, for some reason, include the budget for the central police forces (CRPF, BSF, ITBP, NSG etc) which is around $12BN. SIPRI have NO business adding this to India's defence budget as the CAPFs (Central Armed Police Forces) are under an entirely differently ministry Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) as opposed to the Ministry of Defence (MoD). No on adds the US's Homeland Securty budget to the US's defence budget so why should that be the case for India?

India's defence budget for 2013-14 was 1.78% as stared by the MoD in Parliament, it has touched a 52 year low (as a proportion of GDP) at just 1.74% of GDP:

Not to mention, even our nuclear program (peaceful & military) comes under DAE's budget not military so add another 3-4 billion dollars for the military program.

No point in secure borders if that bankrupts a country. Look what happened to Soviet Union.

India should stick to raising defence budget in line with GDP growth.

Current defence spending is relatively low, just below 2% of our GDP.
It will never go beyond 2.5%, so no problem.

Education,Health Care,Infrastructure development should also get a good hike. We need to put our money more on that rather than concentrating on defence only.

Infrastructure is getting an immense push since the new GOI came into office.

Education and health care are primarily state matters.

 

[Geek]

2-2.5 % of GDP from current 1.7 % of GDP is good
20% increase means Defence Budget will increase between 7-9 Billion $

Please leave this bloody socialist mentality back in 2013. If you are a rich man and can't defend yourself you're creamed. We desperately need new toys. This isn't a luxury, it's a necessity.

Where is the money going to come from?

Anyway not from the Bangladesh.So dont worry.

How is investing in infrastructure, health care and education a socialist mentality?!

Development always comes first. We are a democracy, and not some crazy fascist military state.

First of all you must convince your countrymen from polevaulting in to the India.
Then talk .otherwise this is none of your business.

 

[cybertron]

It is even more important to further properly allocate defense budget. I propose 50% hike in DRDO budget which is around 10000 crore at present at 5% of defense budget.

And do what?? Hire an additional 1000 people to sit idol and enjoy the luxuries of Govt job?

DRDO requires a major revamp, from the way its funtioning currently.

India is going to spend 1 TRILLION USD on infrastructure alone by 2020, the amount India spends on healthcare,education and poverty relief is FAR greater than the modest amount it spends on defence. A govt's first responsibility is to protect their citizens.

In 2013, Indian GDP was 110 trillion rupees while defence budget was 1.934 trillion rupees. Do math and see if it was less than 2% or not. LOLs

I like your solid data, in 2013
India defence= 1.934 trillion INR=32.2BN $(1.76%),
GDP=110 trillion INR=1.83trillion $,
60INR=1 $;
By the way, can any one give me the Revenue and expenditure of India in 2013?

China defence budget in 2013 is 0.72 trillion Yuan=117BN $(1.27%),
GDP is 56.9trillion Yuan=9.3trillion $,
Revenue of the whole government is 12.9trillion Yuan=2.1trillion $,
expenditure is 13.9trillion Yuan=2.26trillion,
6.15Yuan=1 $;
