What happened
The Defence Acquisition Council accorded in-principle administrative approval to various acquisition proposals worth an estimated Rs 1.1 lakh crore, which is expected to be sourced primarily from Indian industry. Separately, State Bank of India reported a standalone net profit of ₹21,121 crore for Q1 FY27, marking a 10.2% year-on-year increase. This growth was supported by a 14.88% year-on-year surge in Net Interest Income.

Why it matters
The defense approvals strengthen medium-to-long term order visibility for Indian defense manufacturers, who are expected to benefit from high domestic sourcing requirements. State Bank of India's strong profitability metrics were bolstered by its loan book growth, particularly in the SME segment, and its deep digital penetration through YONO.
