India Defence Minister: Self-reliance means tech sovereignty, not just local manufacturing

At the Delhi Defence Dialogue, Rajnath Singh framed defence reforms, Aatmanirbharta, international collaborations, and exports as four pillars of strategic autonomy, emphasizing technological sovereignty over mere indigenous production. He cited record production of ₹1.78 lakh crore in 2025-26 and exports of ₹38,424 crore, signaling India's intent to deepen defense indigenization and global partnerships. The statement reinforces India's ongoing push for defense self-reliance, with no immediate market-moving implications.
