“We will expand Bharat’s defence footprint across strategic locations and partner with friendly countries to protect Bharat’s and the Indian Ocean Region’s security interests.”
India continues to expand its maritime security footprint in the Indian Ocean Region under the SAGAR/MAHASAGAR vision - sustained naval presence and anti-piracy/anti-drone deployments, defence partnerships and logistics arrangements with regional and friendly countries, capacity-building and coastal-surveillance support to littoral states, and participation in the Information Fusion Centre-Indian Ocean Region and groupings such as the Colombo Security Conclave. As an open-ended strategic commitment, it is being pursued continuously rather than completed. Partial (ongoing).
We will vastly expand domestic defence manufacturing and exports of Made in Bharat defence equipment. This effort will be facilitated by accelerating indigenisation in major Air and Land Equipment Platforms.
We will further equip the Armed Forces and the Central Armed Police Forces with modern state-of-the-art weapons, equipment and technology to aid the swift disposal of any current and emerging threats.
We have corrected this grave error and started constructing roads, railway, telecom towers, optical fibre cables and electricity networks. We will accelerate development of robust infrastructure along the Indo-China, Indo-Pakistan and Indo-Myanmar borders. We will introduce technological solutions on fenced portions to make fencing smarter.
