In the last 10 years, we have made defence reform a priority in the defence sector. Because of these reforms, our armed forces are now more capable and self-reliant. Today, more equitable defense procurement opportunities are provided to the defense industry, and 25% of the research and development budget is reserved for the private sector. These efforts have resulted in defence production of more than 1.25 lakh crore. - Prime Minister Narendra Modi #KargilVijayDiwas2024 Press Information Bureau
