MOD Rajnath Singh reviews indigenous artillery, hails Make in India weapons for armed forces

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh attended DRDO’s artillery exhibition at Pashan Range in Pune, showcasing India’s growing self-reliance in defence manufacturing. Earlier, at the convocation of Symbiosis Skills and Professional University, he highlighted India’s transformation from dependence on imported weapons to domestic production. Singh said Operation Sindoor is a testament to this progress, with armed forces employing a large share of indigenously developed equipment. Emphasising Make-in-India initiatives, he praised the valour of soldiers and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to strengthening R&D, innovation, and collaboration with academia and industry, ensuring that India’s defence capabilities continue to grow independently.
