Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan addressed the "Chanakya Dialogue" organized by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) in New Delhi on April 29.
CDS Chauhan said, "Today, our defence industries already manufacture a wide variety of military hardware, such as tanks, armoured vehicles, guns, helicopters, warships, submarines, and much more, to meet the requirements of the defence forces as well as for exports.”
“This has led to an increase in the share of domestic requirements, which have been on the uptrend since 2018. I believe that defence manufacturing is the new sunrise sector that will witness major growth in the near future,” he added.
