Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has expressed confidence that India will achieve Aatmanirbharta in the defence sector by meeting the target of one lakh 75 thousand crore rupees of defence production by 2025. It includes the export of 35 thousand crore rupees. However, he clarified, that Aatmanirbharta does not mean isolation but India’s resolve is to give hope and relief to the world.
Speaking at an event in New Delhi today, Mr. Singh informed that the country’s defence exports have crossed 13 thousand crore rupees as compared to 1,900 crore rupees earlier. He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat is making India one of the strongest and most respected countries in the world. Mr Singh asserted that the government is leaving no stone unturned to realise the dream of a self-reliant New India to fulfill its needs, especially those related to security.
He also lauded the Prime Minister’s decisions, saying they have transformed India’s image in the world from a silent observer to an assertor and provider. Mr Singh exuded confidence in the domestic industry and said it has the capacity and capability to manufacture the latest defence platforms and the government is working as a facilitator in achieving that.
