Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said the defence acquisition process will be transparent and fast under his stewardship.
Parrikar, who met with Defence Secretary RK Mathur and all the three Services Chiefs soon after he took charge here on Monday, echoed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India’ slogan and said the country should manufacture “as much as possible” domestically. Replying to a question from media persons on the delay in Defence acquisitions and deals getting mired in corruption, Parrikar said, “It’s very unfortunate.”
