“Move forward at a new pace in production, technology, design and innovation, keeping national interests in mind,” he said while addressing the Indian Navy-hosted “Swavlamban” (self-dependence) seminar in New Delhi. The minister urged the private sector to raise its contribution to defence manufacturing to 50 per cent or more in the coming years.

India’s annual defence production touched an all-time high of Rs 1,50,590 crore in FY 2024-25, with the private sector accounting for 23 per cent, while 77 per cent came from public sector undertakings.

He stressed that the private sector must adopt a profit-plus approach and develop platforms and systems that become symbols of global trust in India.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
