India aims to be defence manufacturer, not just buyer: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted India's growing defense manufacturing prowess, now at Rs 40,000 crore, emphasizing self-reliance over being a mere buyer. Commissioning three indigenously built naval ships – INS Dunagiri, INS Sanshodhak, and INS Agray – he underscored the nation's maritime capabilities as crucial for development, security, and economic strength. These vessels, designed and built in India with significant MSME involvement, showcase the country's 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' journey.
