During the Monsoon Session of Parliament in New Delhi, Union Minister of State for Defence Sanjay Seth reiterated the government's commitment to a self‑reliant defence ecosystem. He said India aims to become a developed nation by 2047 and to transform the Indian Air Force into one of the world's most powerful forces through indigenous technology and innovation.

Seth highlighted the vital contributions of defence manufacturers, start‑ups, academia and the armed forces, warning that delays in acquiring critical technology could jeopardise national security.
