Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh officially laid the foundation stone for a series of shipbuilding projects estimated at Rs 3,500 crore. The ceremony, covered by Telangana Today, marked the commencement of a major investment in India’s maritime manufacturing sector.
The projects are expected to strengthen domestic shipbuilding capabilities and contribute to the nation’s defence preparedness. By channeling substantial funds into these initiatives, the government aims to reduce reliance on foreign shipyards and promote indigenous technology.
