Rajnath Singh Urges Defence Manufacturers to Prioritize Quality for Global Competitiveness In a compelling address, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has called upon Indian defence manufacturers to prioritize and enhance the quality of their products to compete effectively in the global market. Emphasizing the need for excellence in manufacturing, the minister outlined the strategic importance of positioning India as a reliable and high-quality player in the international defence industry.
Speaking at a conference attended by key stakeholders in the defence manufacturing sector, Rajnath Singh highlighted the evolving dynamics of global defence trade. He emphasized that quality and reliability are paramount considerations for nations when choosing their defence partners. “It is imperative for our defence manufacturers to not only meet but exceed international standards in terms of quality and performance. This will not only bolster our national security but also position India as a formidable player in the global defence market,” said the Defence Minister.
Rajnath Singh acknowledged the advancements made by Indian defence manufacturers but stressed the continuous pursuit of excellence. He urged companies to invest in research and development, embrace cutting-edge technologies, and adopt best practices to ensure that their products meet the stringent requirements of the global market.
The Defence Minister also highlighted the importance of innovation and collaboration in the defence manufacturing ecosystem. He encouraged partnerships between public and private sectors, academia, and research institutions to foster a culture of innovation and address emerging challenges in defence technology.
Recognizing the role of the government in supporting the defence industry, Rajnath Singh assured manufacturers of a conducive policy environment and streamlined procedures. He emphasized that the government is committed to promoting a robust defence manufacturing ecosystem that not only caters to domestic needs but also contributes significantly to the country’s exports.
The call for enhanced quality and global competitiveness aligns with the government’s broader initiatives, such as ‘Make in India’ and ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ (Self-Reliant India), aimed at boosting domestic manufacturing capabilities across various sectors, including defence.
As India continues to modernize its armed forces and aims for self-reliance in defence production, Rajnath Singh’s directive serves as a rallying cry for the country’s defence manufacturers to rise to the occasion, ensuring that India’s defence capabilities are not only robust but also globally recognized for their quality and reliability.
