Key Takeaways
India maintained a consistently large military force, starting at 1.26 million personnel in 1990 and increasing slightly to 1.35 million by 2016. This growth aligns with India's strategic emphasis on regional security, border defense, and its role as a major power in South Asia.

Peaks in personnel, such as in 2003 and 2015, correspond with modernizations and heightened tensions along the borders with Pakistan and China. India's focus on maintaining a robust defense infrastructure is evident in the steady personnel levels throughout the period.
