When you divide any number with his IQ, you will get Divide by zero exception, so just cut him slack.

He is some special cretin because he knows less than a 5 year old. I try not to reply, I suspect he really is a five year old who has got hold of his dads laptop and trying to learn to write whatever comes into his head. Perhaps i should just treat it as a five years attempt at humour.

its a good thing that the private sector in india is getting involved in the defense sector

 

[HAIDER]

Every industry can involve. But its risky , because only govt sector is a buyer and its very limited market with very high standards. Instead building one truck for Indian army, TATA can make billions in making parts of any local cars.

TATA is expanding its defence business hugely and Reiance says they want to see 20% of their revenue come from the defence sector within the next 10 years. The market is not as insignificant as you think- India will be spending almost $500b on defence over the next 6 years and with Indian defence orders there is always the opportunity to export to third markets.

Its good forecasting.

To be honest something made in india as low as nokia is far more comoforting news that importing a iphone from foreign.
Hpoe fully more and more private players come out to fulfill the needs of defence sector, and hopflly defence sectors become more accomodating of them.
