India is set to transform its military capabilities significantly by 2047, as outlined by Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh. The Defence Forces Vision 2047 aims to create a fully integrated military force capable of projecting power across the Indo-Pacific region. A key component of this vision is Mission Sudarshan Chakra, which will establish a layered missile defence system operational by the 2030s. Singh highlighted the importance of technological sovereignty, emphasizing that India's historical reliance on arms imports must shift towards becoming a global defence manufacturing hub. He noted the challenges posed by expanding economic vulnerabilities, as India's global supply chains and digital infrastructure become more interconnected yet susceptible to threats. Singh reiterated India's commitment to strategic autonomy and the need for credible deterrence against security challenges along its northern and western borders. The government aims to foster a competitive environment for the private sector in defence procurement, urging timely delivery and collaboration among industry players.
