Minister of State for Defence on Tuesday said that the government is bringing all stakeholders under one roof to promote indigenisation of the defence sector.
"All stakeholders be it Ministry of Defence (MoD), Indian Air Force (IAF), Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Private Industries, Ordinance Factory Board and Defence PSU's are brought under one roof to move towards self reliance. The government is coming up with big reforms to support country's move towards indegenisation," Bhamre said.
He added that for the past three years many positive initiatives have been taken up in the defence sector.
