PUBLISHER’S NOTE
Dear Readers,
Homegrown technology is often more reliable than imported technology, and the latest skirmish that India had with its adversary was a testament to that fact. Elated by this resounding success, the belief in strengthening indigenous capability has become more deep-rooted than ever — that India must lead in defence innovation through homegrown solutions.
A nation is strong in manufacturing when its machine tool (MT) industry is robust — and the Indian machine tool industry isn’t a silent partner; it is an enabler. From precision CNC machines crafting the frames of next-generation fighter jets to indigenously designed tools for missile assembly and maintenance, and a wide range of other tools used in defence, the MT industry plays a strategic role.
The vision of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ is taking shape, with self-reliance taking centre stage across factory floors, R&D labs, and boardrooms. With every gear that turns and every component that fits with perfection, India is forging both technology and sovereignty.
We are living in a time when the quiet hum of lathes and milling machines blends with the heartbeat of a self-reliant nation. Manufacturing is steadily gaining momentum, becoming a key driver of the emerging economy. Domestic manufacturing is more than producing goods for commercial use — it is a symbol of national grit and technological excellence.
| When we stand firm and tall, leaning less on foreign shoulders, Indian inventiveness will march in lockstep with global standards. As this transformation gains ground across the manufacturing sector, we move toward an era where Indian machine tools take centre stage in building a self-reliant manufacturing ecosystem. |
When we stand firm and tall, leaning less on foreign shoulders, Indian inventiveness will march in lockstep with global standards. As this transformation gains ground across the manufacturing sector, we move toward an era where Indian machine tools take centre stage in building a self-reliant manufacturing ecosystem — confidently bearing the badge of innovation and technological strength. The Indian machine tool industry not only has the power to produce world-class goods but also the ability to propel the nation into a secure and self-reliant future.
