• "Defence Decade" is PIB's framing for India's 2014–2026 defence transformation across Capability, Capacity, and Credibility, driven by reforms, indigenisation, and budget expansion.
• Aspirants should care because it bundles Atmanirbhar Bharat (defence), DAP 2020, iDEX, CDS/theatre commands, Agnipath, and defence exports—high-yield for GS-II/III and Prelims.
