India produces 40 per cent of its defence supplies : Defence Minister

[Water Car Engineer]

“In the past, we were producing only 30 per cent of our equipment. Now we are producing 40 per cent of platforms, equipment and ammunition of our total defence supply…In many areas, India is producing state-of-the-art weapons. We are improving but we have to go a long way. Do not expect miracles,” he told the Rajya Sabha during Question Hour.

Replying to supplementaries, Antony said while in past the defence sector was exclusively reserved for public sector, “We are now giving more space to the Indian private sector.”

“Our first priority is to reduce the dependence on foreign players.

wow! ten percent growth was quick..we have to reach 70-80 percent in the same or more speed.

 

[Whiplash]

Key word being produces. Not designs. This includes all the ToTs and licence productions.

 

[JanjaWeed]

India needs to open up this industry to private sectors. that's the only way to increase indigenous production of defence supplies to the required level!!

 

[Marwari]

Very good

Waiting for the day we're completely independent on defence supplies.

 

[blackops]

There are so many private companies who can do so much like tata l&t but first give them a chance open up the defence industry

I doubt this is true and simply is an eyewash to give this government a boost, who is getting more and more unpopular as the days pass and more scams are discovered.

I agree. I am talking about the UPA distracting people from current troubles it is in.

Anthony is a puppet in Madam Maino's hands just like Manmohan, Pratibha, Chidambaram, Krishna and all the rest. Seen something common in all of these? NONE of these 5 or 6 have their own say or stand on anything. All look at Maino and her pups for orders.

I believe that number not because of Anthony but it is a figure that is reasonable since India has been making a sincere effort to make weapons indigenous for the past 8 yrs. Just stay on track and keep on developing newer tech or improving the old with further research. India should not get complacent which is has been quite evident in the past.

Even though I don;t like Sonia and Rahul....I think MMS is one of the best to keep us on the right track. If there is a position like Homeland security in India, then MODI should lead it. I think he would guarantee sweeping changes in India, but it would make COngress look bad....so it won;t happen but I can always wish.

i just DON'T"T trust indian government.
