印媒：囊中羞涩！尽管与中国军队的对峙持续了33个月，印度今年的国防预算只是略微增加

Modest hike in defence budget despite ongoing military confrontation with China

尽管与中国的军事对抗仍在进行，但印度国防预算只是略微增加

NEW DELHI: The defence budget registered a modest hike despite the continuing 33-month long troop confrontation along the frontier with China. Moreover, the allocation for military modernization was just over one-fourth of the total outlay due to the hefty revenue expenditure and pension bill.

The defence budget was pegged at Rs 5.93 lakh crore ($72.4 billion), which marks just a 1.5% hike over the last fiscal’s revised estimates and 13% over the budgetary estimates. In effect, military modernization will proceed slowly like before, along with the continuing thrust on indigenization in the defence production sector

新德里：尽管在边境上与中国军队对峙持续了33个月，但印度国防预算只是略有增加。此外，由于支付压力大和养老金账单高企，军事现代化的拨款仅占总开支的四分之一多一点。

印度今年的国防预算定为5.93万亿卢比（724亿美元），仅比上一财年的修订预算增长1.5%。实际上，随着国防生产部门继续推进本土化，军事现代化将像以前一样缓慢进行。

The capital outlay for new weapon systems, platforms and sensors stood at Rs 1.63 lakh crore in the new defence budget, representing an 6.7% hike from budgetary estimates of 2022-2023

草案中称，将有1.63万亿卢比的拨款作为国防资本支出，用于购买新型武器、飞机、军舰和其他军事装备等，同比增长6.7%。

以下是印度时报读者的评论：

The capital outlay last year was 1.52 lakh crore, this years its 1.62 lakh crore($20 billion), thats only 6.57% increase, the govt shud have increased it by atleast 10%, ok IAF already paid for 83 Tejas last year, but we need 27 more rafales signed for navy this year, that will cost $5 billion, plus pakistan getting 8 submarines this year, we have added just 5 in last 6 years, the project 75i if delayed further, will out risk survival of indian navy infront of chinas 70 subs

去年的国防资本支出为1.52万亿卢比，今年为1.63万亿卢比（200亿美元），仅增加了6.57%，政府应该至少将这个拨款增加10%啊，印度空军去年已经花钱买了83架光辉战机。我们海军今年还需要订购27架阵风战机，这就要花费50亿美元，加上巴基斯坦今年获得8艘潜艇，而我们在过去6年中只喜提5艘，75i项目如果进一步推迟，那么面对中国70艘潜艇，印度海军的生存都是个问题。

But yes slowly and slowly they should keep modernizing the defence sector and increase its budget:

是的，慢慢地，他们应该提高国防部门的现代化，并增加预算

When each section of society wants tax cuts, freebies, etc. where from do the govt get money for the rapid increase in the defence sector?

当社会各阶层都想要减税、免费赠品等时，政府从何处获得资金，推动国防部门的快速增长？

We honest tax payers are here.. where else??

我们就是老实交税的纳税人。还要从哪里获取啊

Pentagon report said, most of India's defense budget goes towards salaries of jawans. There is hardly any thing left to upgrades of weapons.

五角大楼的报告说，印度国防预算的大部分用于给士兵发工资了。几乎没有资金可用于升级武器了

Anything in the budget to improve global hunger index rating ? I guess nothing.

预算中有哪部分拨款，可以提高我们印度的全球饥饿指数排名的吗？我想没有吧。

Explain how does it affect elections result if more funds allocated to defence ?

国防拨款增加的话，会如何影响选举结果啊，能解释下吗

The actual defence budget is never what is publicly mentioned as in the budget. A lot of money that goes into defence is unbudgeted and classified.

实际国防预算从未像预算中公开提到的那样。很多用于国防的资金都是未编入预算和分类的

Ganesh Acharya

I agree it should not be disclosed

我同意，这些不应披露

The country needs to have a tremendous economic growth first before increasing the defense budget significantly.

在大幅增加国防预算之前，我们国家应该首先实现飞速的经济增长。

Defence sector needs budget increase which is understood. But china issue is not acute that overnight they will attack india. Pakistan is already in financial crisis and nightmare.

印度国防部门应该提高预算，这是众所周知的。但中国问题并没有尖锐到他们会在一夜之间袭击印度。巴基斯坦已经陷入金融危机和噩梦。

Who is confronting China? America . And America tells India to get ready to do battle!

谁在对抗中国？是美国！

美国要求印度做好战斗准备！

India needs to increase its defence outlay to modernise and upgrade its arsenal. Though ‘Pakistan has been taken care of by its own Army’, China continues to flex its muscles with India. This aspect cannot be ignored. Pakistan, however, is out for alms with a begging bowl.

印度是应该增加国防开支，以实现武库的现代化升级。中国仍在继续向印度秀肌肉。这一点不容忽视。而巴基斯坦却拿着一个碗到处乞讨

Not God

China's defense budget is 293 billion dollars and India 67 billion dollars. Shameless FEKUDEEN.

中国的国防预算为2930亿美元，印度仅为670亿美元。无耻的莫迪啊

dfoxman

You're right...you're not god, otherwise you'd know that China's GDP is over five times bigger than India's, and have already copied or stolen all their technology from US and others, while India, way behind and with its limited resources, must struggle getting funds even for R&D

你说得对。你不是上帝，否则你会知道，中国的GDP也是印度的五倍多啊，

而且他们已经从美国和其他国家搞到了各种技术，而印度远远落后，资源有限，即使是研发资金也难以筹集到

Rational Corp

If India resolves its disputes with China, and joins hands with them, India could lower her defense budget substantially. China provides military cover, to any country that is part of the bri project. Hence India's military efforts are futile in Gilgit Baltistan, where the BRI flagship project CPEC, passes.

如果印度解决与中国的争端，并与中国携手合作，印度可大幅削减国防预算。中国向任何参与一带一路项目的国家提供军事保护。因此，印度在吉尔吉特-巴尔蒂斯坦构建的军事努力是徒劳的，那里是一带一路旗舰项目“中巴经济走廊”的所在地。
