Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has said that Defence Shipyards are playing a vital role in strengthening India’s Navy and Coast Guard. Addressing the Consultative Committee Meeting on Defence Shipyards in Mumbai this afternoon, Mr. Singh said, Defence Shipyards are ensuring timely delivery of products, that too with top notch quality. He added that the platforms developed by India’s Defence Shipyards have earned praise by many foreign nations in recent times.
Stating that Defence Shipyards are a prime example of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of AtmaNirbhar Bharat, Mr. Singh hoped that the shipyards will continue to have consultations and discussions with the Navy and Coast Guard to know about their requirements. He said that building modern ships that are fully equipped with advanced weapon systems are the need of the hour to ensure that India’s maritime borders remain safe and secure.
