“Aero India is an example of the expanding capabilities of India. The presence of around 100 nations here shows that the world’s trust in India has grown. More than 700 exhibitors from India and the world are participating. It has broken all the past records,” as reported by news source ANI, he added.

The Aero India display “reflects a fresh approach of New India,” he added, emphasising this point further. He stated “There was a time when it was considered just a show. In the past few years, the nation has changed this perception. Today, it’s not just a show but also India’s strength. It focuses on the scope of the Indian defence industry & self-confidence.”

The Prime Minister claims that India is now a prospective defence partner rather than just a market for global defence businesses. He stated, “This partnership is even with those nations that are much ahead in the defence sector, nations that are looking for a dependable partner for their defence requirements.”

“New India of the 21st century will now neither lose any opportunity nor lag behind in hard work. We’re ready. On the path to reforms, we’re bringing a revolution in every sector. The country which was the biggest defence importer for decades now exports defence equipment to 75 countries,” PM Modi made a point.
