According to Union Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, the Indian Navy is quickly becoming more indigenous. The Navy is changing from being a “buyer navy” to a “builder navy,” he continued. He stated that in the past, the majority of the Navy’s equipment was imported. “A few months ago, the first indigenous aircraft carrier was commissioned by PM Modi,” he stated.
Rajnath Singh went on, “It was thought that the nation’s threats were limited to land-based activities ten years ago. Furthermore, the Navy received little consideration. However, after taking office, Prime Minister Modi overcame this constrained viewpoint and gave the Navy, the Army, and the Air Force his full attention. The Indian Navy is quickly becoming more indigenous nowadays.”
