Chapter 171: The Dawn of India's Defense Industry

The establishment of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) had marked a turning point in India's quest for self-reliance.

The foundation was laid, the factories were being built, and the nation's best engineers were hard at work under the guidance of experts..

However, Rohan knew that HAL alone would not be enough to secure India's future.

If India were to truly defend its sovereignty and build a future where it didn't rely on foreign powers for defense, the country needed more than just an aviation industry.

It needed an entire ecosystem of defense companies, factories that would build everything from tanks to naval ships, from missiles to communication systems.

It was time to take the next step, and that step required not only government involvement but also the participation of India's private sector.
