In a special show, Rising India Summit, Nirmala Sitharaman, Defence Minister discusses with Zakka Jacob about the plea made by Nirmala Sitharaman for Make In India in defence and about kick-starting Indian industries and them helping defence supply chain and its progress so far.
I am not so much worried about the opposition saying but it is a reality that even if we open up, there are times when you are working under a given framework of rules or under a policy which itself needs a bit of tweaking. As we go along, when we hear from the stakeholders that more is to be done, we have kept changing and that is why we are now very confident that the changes with which the new defence procurement policy is going to be announced sooner, Sitharaman said.
