Dr. Samir V. Kamat, Chairman of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), expressed optimism about the growing global demand for Indian defense products. Speaking at the India Defence Expo (IDAX-24), he emphasized that DRDO’s innovations are now gaining traction in international markets.
“Our products are now gaining interest in the international market,” Dr. Kamat stated. He further highlighted that the ongoing IDAX-24 exhibition primarily showcased aeronautical products, but there was also considerable interest in other defense sectors.
The air defense missiles developed by DRDO, including the Akash and QRSAM, have been particularly attractive to foreign buyers. These missile systems have demonstrated their capabilities in various scenarios and have garnered significant attention from potential customers.
Dr. Kamat’s statement reflects the increasing recognition of India’s defense industry on the global stage. As DRDO continues to innovate and develop advanced technologies, it is expected that the demand for Indian defense products will only grow further.
