He also commended BDL for its move to manufacture products indigenously in partnership with foreign companies.

Dedicating the new manufacturing facilities to the nation, Singh said the new BDL units will help enhance technology forecasting and strengthen manufacturing and testing capabilities.

Rajnath Singh said in a statement that “this long-term collaboration will help academia to work on core technological problems and assist R&D institutions to move from ‘theoretical analysis’ to ‘conversion into actual products’. It will be a win-win situation and give a boost to the defence eco-system of the country”.

He also virtually inaugurated a central storage facility at the Visakhapatnam unit of BDL.

The Rs49m ($0.62m) storage system consists of a vertical carousel system, a mechanical compactor, and a motorised compactor. This facility will allow real-time transactions and inventory monitoring.
