India's defence capabilities boosted under Modi government, relying on imports only for immediate needs: NITI Aayog member VK Saraswat

India has significantly enhanced its defense capabilities over the past decade, with a focus on indigenous manufacturing and reducing reliance on arms imports. VK Saraswat, a member of NITI Aayog and former chief of the DRDO, highlighted that 60% of India's arms and ammunition are now domestically produced, with major corporations like Adani, Tata, and L&T contributing to radar systems and gun manufacturing. Saraswat also assured that India's power capacity is sufficient to meet its needs, minimizing the risk of significant power cuts. Companies like Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) and Bharat Electronics are poised to benefit from these trends.
