In a powerful endorsement of India’s defence manufacturing capabilities, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday emphasized the importance of trust and uncompromising quality in establishing "Brand India" as a globally respected identity. Addressing stakeholders in the defence sector, Singh highlighted that the true essence of Brand India lies in delivering exactly what is promised—nothing less.
“The meaning of Brand India is that if an Indian company has made a promise, it will definitely be fulfilled,” he asserted. Drawing a sharp focus on performance standards, he noted, “If a product is said to have a certain range of striking capability, it will definitely have it. There’s no question of anything less. If a product is said to have the capacity to function up to a certain temperature, it will definitely have it.”
According to Singh, such unwavering quality assurance is critical in building international confidence in Indian-made defence equipment. “Only when we succeed in achieving this will international buyers see us as a trusted supplier and say, ‘Don’t go for doubt, go for India’,” he said.
