A country's economic prowess gets automatically reflected in the field of ammunition and India must focus on boosting research and development as well as manufacturing capability in this area, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on July 27.
"We have come far ahead of those times when a bomb's size and explosive capacity were the only things that mattered. Now, their smartness is as important," Mr. Singh said in his speech during the second Military Ammunition Conference ‘Ammo India 2022’, by industry body Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI).
