Op Sindoor proved India's power to defeat enemies with home-grown strength: Rajnath Singh
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday said Operation Sindoor was a testament to India's ability to crush its enemies using indigenous capabilities, asserting that the country would not spare those who challenge its sovereignty. Laying the foundation stone of BEML's Greenfield Rail Manufacturing facility -- BRAHMA -- in Umariya, Madhya Pradesh, the Defence Minister described the recent military operation as a 'befitting reply' to the 'heinous and cowardly' terrorist attack on civilians in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. 'We do not provoke anyone, but those who provoke us will not be spared,' he said. The Defence Minister emphasised that the success of Operation Sindoor reflected India's growing self-reliance and self-confidence in the defence sector. 'The Armed Forces effectively utilised indigenous equipment, which played a pivotal role in the operation's success. India was able to reach this position only because it has pledged to become Aatmanirbhar in the defence sector,' he said. Crediting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership for transforming the defence landscape, Singh noted that India is now manufacturing world-class equipment domestically and supplying it to friendly nations. 'Our defence production and exports are increasing at an unprecedented pace and have touched record figures. This is the new defence sector of the new India,' he said. It may be recalled that, in the Financial Year 2024-25, annual defence production soared to an all-time high figure of Rs 1.51 lakh crore and defence exports touched a record Rs 23,622 crore,' he said. Highlighting the nation's economic progress, Singh said India's economy is growing at about 6.5 per cent annually and is on course to become the world's third-largest economy. He reiterated the government's resolve to achieve the goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047, with defence self-reliance forming a crucial pillar of national security and economic strength. Referring to the BRAHMA project, Singh said initiatives like this are essential for building the technological and industrial base needed for both defence and civilian sectors. He lauded BEML for its role in strengthening the country's mobility solutions and urged a greater focus on research and development.

We also decided that we will not kill anyone take reveenge by asking their religion, we will kill them after seeing their deeds (Karam), and we killed them."To explain his point, Singh referenced a story from the Ramayana of Lord Hanuman when Goddess Sita was held captive in Lanka."When Sita ji was in Lanka, Ravana had kidnapped her. When Hanuman ji reached there, he created havoc, and when he reached Sita ji, she asked very politely, "Hey Hanuman! What have you done? Why did you create so much havoc in Lanka? Why did you kill so many people?" Hanuman ji sat very politely and with folded hands told Sita ji, "Hey Mata, Jin Mohi Mara, Tin Mai Maare".

The forces decided what the rules of engagement would be. We decided how we wanted to control the escalation. We had full freedom to plan and execute," Air Chief Marshal said.

‘Sabka Boss' Can't Stop India: Rajnath Singh's Sharp Dig At Trump Over Tariff Bomb
New Delhi: In a sharp critique of recent US tariff policies, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh took aim at President Donald Trump, suggesting that some global powers are struggling to accept India's rapid rise on the world stage. Speaking at a public event, Singh hinted at American discomfort with India's growth, using a pointed reference to Trump's leadership style. 'Some people are unable to digest the speed at which India is advancing. Their mindset seems to be, 'Sabke boss toh hum hain (I am everyone's boss), how is India progressing so fast?' Efforts are now on to make Made-in-India products more expensive when they are exported to other countries," he said. #WATCH Raisen, Madhya Pradesh: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh says, "There are some people who are not happy with the speed at which India is developing. They are not liking it. 'Sabke boss toh hum hain', how is India growing at such a fast pace? And many are trying that the… — ANI (@ANI) August 10, 2025 He accused certain global players of deliberately trying to make Indian products more expensive in international markets by imposing tariffs, thereby undermining the success of the "Make in India" initiative. Despite these hurdles, Singh delivered a strong message of confidence. 'The pace at which India is progressing, let me assure you, no global power can stop us from becoming a superpower,' he declared. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh further praised Madhya Pradesh's rapid development and envisioned it as a "Modern Pradesh." At the foundation stone ceremony of the new rail coach factory project 'BRAHMA' he highlighted the symbolic name and expressed confidence the factory will boost the state's industrial growth. He called the BEML's Greenfield Rail Manufacturing facility (BRAHMA) a key step in boosting India's industrial and defence self-reliance. The unit will manufacture advanced rolling stock for domestic and export markets, create over 5,000 jobs, and is expected to catalyse local supply chains in the state's industrial belt. Addressing the gathering, Singh called initiatives like BRAHMA critical in building the industrial and technological base needed for both national security and economic growth. Defence Minister said,"Seeing the development of Madhya Pradesh, I can say that in the coming years, Madhya Pradesh will be known as Modern the rail coach factory whose foundation stone was laid, I saw that you have named it 'Brahma'.Naming this unit after the creator is, in itself, a very wonderful suggestion. I am fully confident that this unit, drawing inspiration from its name and realising it, will reach new heights in the matter of product manufacturing." He further added, "There are some people who are not happy with the speed at which India is developing. They are not liking it. 'Sabke boss toh hum hain', how is India growing at such a fast pace? And many are trying that the things made in India, by the hands of Indians become more expensive than the things made in those countries, so that when the things become expensive, the world will not buy them. This effort is being made. But India is progressing so fast, I say with full confidence that now no power in the world can stop India from becoming a big power of the world..." "As far as the defence sector is concerned, you will be happy to know that now we are exporting defence items worth more than Rs twenty four thousand crores. This is the strength of India, this is the new defence sector of the new India and the export is increasing continuously," Defence Minister said. Singh had on Saturday announced that the annual defence production of the coutnry has soared to an all-time high figure of Rs 1,50,590 crore in the Financial Year (FY) 2024-25.

The BRAHMA facility will be developed across 148 acres as a world-class manufacturing unit for rolling stock and is expected to be completed in about two years. BEML plans to invest ₹1,800 crore in the next few years in a phase-wise manner to fully establish the integrated manufacturing unit. Initially producing 125-200 coaches per year, its capacity will scale up to 1,100 coaches annually within five years. The plant will manufacture Vande Bharat trainsets, metro cars, Electrical Multiple Units, high-speed rail coaches, and other advanced rolling stock. It will also incorporate zero liquid discharge systems, solar and renewable energy integration, rainwater harvesting, and green landscaping in line with India's green manufacturing goals. Expected to create over 5,000 direct and indirect jobs, the facility aims to catalyse local supply chains and encourage MSMEs in Madhya Pradesh's industrial belt, particularly in Singrauli, Satna, Rewa, and Katni. The use of recycled and sustainable building materials will ensure compliance with the highest environmental and safety standards, including statutory environmental clearances and green factory norms. He lauded BEML as "a pillar in India's journey towards industrial and defence self-reliance" and said the project would bolster its position as a global supplier of mobility solutions. "Projects like BRAHMA reaffirm our economic resolve to be self-reliant, globally competitive, and future ready. This is how we will build a strong, secure, and prosperous India," he said, while urging the DPSU to further strengthen research and development.
