In yet another boost for Make in India in defence sector, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will dedicate the Main Battle Tank Arjun Mark1A to the nation on Sunday.
In a high-level meeting, the Defence Ministry recently cleared the induction of 118 Arjun Mark1A tanks into the Indian Army which will cost around Rs 8,400 crore and add to the strength of the force in land warfare. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be dedicating the latest version of the Arjun tank to the nation on February 14 in Chennai at the tank production facility in Avadi, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) officials told ANI.
I spoke to Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat and he too expressed his worry that the amount our iDEX startups get is less. I ask our Secretary Defence Production and Secretary Defence to see that it is increased in some way. I feel that it is too less, Singh said.
