NOTHING BEATS SELF-RELIANCE AND PREPAREDNESS

In the face of recent geopolitical tensions, India has not only remained unshaken but has emerged stronger and more self-assured. The vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat, once seen as aspirational, is now shaping the country’s economic, strategic, and technological identity.

From strengthening defence capabilities to advancing indigenous manufacturing and fostering homegrown innovation, India’s response to global disruptions reflects a profound resilience and a steadfast commitment to self-reliance.

This transformation is a cultural shift—a growing confidence among Indian industries and entrepreneurs to innovate, build, and lead. The government’s proactive policies such as the PLI schemes, defence indigenization drives, and a push for digital infrastructure contribute significantly.

In this context, the recent success of the Delhi Machine Tool Expo stands as a testament to India’s grit, resilience, and determination. Despite being postponed by a day—causing disruption and logistical challenges—the event concluded on a high note, reflecting the unwavering spirit of the industry and its stakeholders.

The present issue offers insights into the Expo while also bringing you engaging stories and developments from across the manufacturing industry—curated especially for you, our valued readers. As always, we look forward to your thoughts and feedback to help us serve you better.

A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because its trust is not on the branch but on its own wings. Always believe in yourself.
