The military landscape of India has undergone significant transformation under the leadership of the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, evident in the various technologies and missions being launched recently. The announcement of the ambitious Sudarshan Chakra Mission in August 2025 is one of them. Through this mission, the research paper assesses the futuristic defense technology path that India adopted. It represents a shift towards military indigenization, modern warfare technologies, and precision action and counter-action systems, having a completion target by 2035. A thorough analysis of official documents, data related to military expenditure, and various initiatives launched, this research studies the missions capability to establish India as a global leader in defense technology. Although this mission is built upon various successful reforms taken in the past few years, as well as the indigenization push, its implementation faces many challenges, including geopolitical, financial, etc., requiring proactive government attention and global cooperation.
