 India has ushered in a new era of peace and prosperity under the visionary leadership of the honorable PM Narendra Modi. The last eight years have seen India take giant strides towards achieving self-reliance in defence manufacturing. A unique ecosystem comprising the government, industry and entrepreneurs has ledged to the design and manufacturing of indigenous defence equipment. Land, sea, air and in cyberspace. India has moved on from being importers to being exporters, firmly placed on the global leadership map of defence technology. HAL is constantly contributing to the nation's resolve of Atma Nirbhar Bharat.
