India-based defence attaches of around 25 countries of the Indian Ocean Region have been invited to a two-day conclave by the navy to showcase the growing strength of the Indian defence industry and also to offer them solutions to their security requirements.
Vice Chief of Naval Staff (VCNS) Vice Admiral SN Ghormade said that in order to enhance collaboration in developing various systems and equipment essential to the force, a roadmap would be unveiled.
The Navy has already proposed to develop 75 new indigenous technologies to celebrate the 75th year of the country’s independence.
The Naval Innovation and Indigenisation Organisation (NIIO) is working in collaboration with several organisations on this ambitious project.
The two-day event will act as a catalyst for deeper relations among various stakeholders who are concerned with the Indian defence manufacturing sector.
