On the 11th anniversary of ‘Make in India’, he said that government is developing a “vibrant defence sector“, creating an ecosystem where every component bears the mark of ‘Made in India.’
He added that Indian defence forces want ‘swadeshi’ and decrease the dependence on other countries. “We are building such ecosystem where every part of our weapons has ‘Made in India’ inscribed on them.”
