Global disruptions have given opportunity for domestic defence industry to bolster manufacturing capabilities to make India net exporter, says CDS General Anil Chauhan in Ammo India 2024 Conference
Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan today stated that the global disruptions have presented an opportunity for the Indian Defence Eco-system to ramp up their defence manufacturing capabilities so that India transcends from being an importer to being an exporter of munitions, as well as, ammunition. He was speaking at Ammo India 2024 Conference organised by industry body FICCI in New Delhi on August 8, 2024.
CDS said that the global geopolitical environment is in a state of flux. “We are passing through an era of big global disruptions. Amidst the vagaries of the volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA) of the World, the global arms industry is grappling with a seemingly insurmountable problem of widening demand and supply gap,” he stressed.
General Anil Chauhan highlighted the importance of Aatmanirbharta and self-reliance in defence and emphasised how it is central to attaining strategic autonomy for the nation. He mentioned various policy changes, reforms and the initiatives taken by the Ministry of Defence & the armed forces to promote Make in India and Make for the World drive especially with respect to ammunition manufacturing.
Underscoring the significance of about Civil - Military Fusion, CDS called upon the troika of the Services, Defence Industries and the Scientists including Academia to come together for promoting the nation's Aatmanirbharta drive.
The full day event has sessions discussing Ammunition requirements for Tanks & AFVs, Artillery, Air Defence, Aerial and Navy, Munitions for Unmanned Platforms, Loitering Ammunition and Futuristic Munitions as also Small Arms. The CDS also inaugurated an exhibition showcasing Atmanirbharta in munitions.
