DRDO Chairman Samir V Kamat on Saturday said the Indian government’s determination to make India self-reliant in defence production has led to a leap in the sector.
Asked about what made the ‘Make in India’ a success story, Kamat said, “Several factors have made this story possible, the first amongst it is government determination to make Aatmnirbharta happen. I think that is the most important factor which has changed the storyline.”
“We have been talking about self-reliance for a long time but there was no determination on the part of the government. Once the present government has come to power they have really made a strong push to enforce Aatmnirbharta,” Kamat said at the Firstpost Defence Summit 2024.
“The list that the government has published, which services now have to buy from Indian companies, has given a push to Indian companies to invest and start making the systems within the country… Also speeding up of the acquisition process with DAP 2020, has given fillip to this
