As for the standing army, it remains the same, 2.5 million, albeit the entire army had its weapon systems upgraded to the latest version, and the war tactics have been in continuous evolution. As for the fleets, they have seen a big change. One additional fleet has been added, along with the Bharatiya Fleet, Pacific Fleet, and Atlantic Fleet, called the Mediterranean Defence Fleet. This fleet will be permanently stationed in Israel, Egypt, and the United Greek Socialist Republics. This is not a fleet that will be doing sea exercises, but will simply be guarding the coastline of Bharatiya Empire's allies, who are basically vassals, and that brought the total naval tonnage of the empire to 1.06 million tonnes.
