The fully automated 30 mm ammunition facility was inaugurated in Nagpur at Solar Defence & Aerospace by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. The event highlighted the government’s push toward strengthening indigenous defence manufacturing and achieving self-reliance in the sector. Emphasis was placed on increasing private sector participation beyond 50 per cent to build a robust defence industrial base. The occasion also marked India’s growing stature as a defence exporter, with the flagging off of Pinaka rocket system exports to Armenia, reflecting a strategic shift from dependence on imports to global defence manufacturing leadership.
