PPP model big step towards self-reliance in defence: Rajnath Singh

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday hailed the public-private collaboration in defence manufacturing and exuded confidence that soon India will make military products not just for domestic use, but for the entire world. He said handing over of Multi-Mode Hand Grenades (MMHG), manufactured by a Nagpur-based private firm and considered highly lethal, but safer to use, to the Indian Army was a big step towards self-reliance in defence manufacturing and a shining example of the increasing collaboration between public and private sectors. Singh said value of India's defence exports stood at over Rs 17,000 crore in the last two years. The first batch of one lakh MMHG, manufactured by Economic Explosives Ltd (EEL) following transfer of technology from Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory of the Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), was handed over to the Army in the presence of Singh at a function here, a PIB (Defence Wing) press release said.
