Rajnath Singh: Modern Wars Transcend Borders, Embrace Tech & Trade

  • Defence Minister Rajnath Singh stated that modern warfare extends beyond geographical borders to include energy, trade, tariffs, supply chains, technology, and information.
  • He made these remarks at the inauguration of a medium-calibre ammunition manufacturing facility by Solar Industries in Nagpur.
  • Singh highlighted that historically, India's defence production was dominated by the public sector, with limited private involvement despite their capabilities.
  • The current government has reformed policies and simplified procedures to encourage greater private sector participation in defence manufacturing.
  • These changes have enhanced India's defence ecosystem, leading to improved quality, timelines, productivity, and a technology-focused manufacturing base.

Why It Matters: Rajnath Singh emphasizes that modern warfare is multifaceted, requiring private sector involvement for defence self-reliance.
