Defence minister Rajnath Singh Tuesday said it is high time India should manufacture aero engines to boost the aerospace sector and achieve complete self-reliance.
“Often I have been asked when India would come up with indigenous aero-engines and I always say that we are working on it. But someday we need to give answers. How long can we say that we will make our engines some day? It is not a battle of Panipat. Our target should be to make our aero-engines and write a new history,” he said during his inaugural address at a seminar titled ‘Indigenous Development of Futuristic Aerospace Technologies including Way Forward for Development of Indigenous Aero Engines’,
