Army Chief General Bipin Rawat said, “We are manufacturing weapons not just to arm our defence forces, but we are now precisely becoming export-oriented defence industry. India was deeply committed to peace and stability in the neighbourhood and would continue to partner with friends as done in the past.”
In an effort to boost defence exports and give a push to domestic defence industry, the Army has tasked its defence attaches in Indian missions to promote the Indian defence industry. General Bipin Rawat also said that there are attempts being made to make the procedure for procurement less bureaucratic but at the same time ensure transparency.
