If one uses inflation as a parameter, Rs 100 in 2014 is Rs 173.45 today. So an increase yes but not 3 times.
Mind you this does not include the increasing cost of pensions which eats into what is really available.
Inflation in India is one part. The other part is INR weakening against the dollar. Since we import a lot of defense equipment, that also has to be taken into account.
