This guy is not giving jobs/employment, but he is creating an ecosystem for manufacturing and technology. Something which we lacked for years. It will take time but I believe these will certainly be beneficial for future generations.

Wow Modiji just wow. When you just feel comfortable being “Indian” instead of cheap copy of European or American, world respects you. This goes to everyone be happy and confident in being yourself, fair, dark, tall, short, English or no English, Hindi or no Hindi.

We must go for additional Chinook, P8i and Apache from Boeing 💯💪🏻

I am so glad Narendra Modiji granted him personal audience. It is a powerful message to the US that India is an important economic and military partner.

Having that coveted jet engine core tech will truly be a quantum leap for our aviation sector and economy in the long run.

This is great news for India and the world. Keeping India strong and secure is good for the whole world. It is the only powerful nation that does not harm others.

So much noise on media now a days....hijab, demolition drive, bagga etc etc...but he is focused to develop india.. without distraction

[satyadeepsahoo]

Many people here are commenting about why only gujrat..like he himself said to do so..😂.. They are going to gujrat because there is GIFT city near gandhinagar.. it has special laws for investors.. relaxation in taxlaws, labour laws and investor friendly environment.. it's a special 'city' where government of gujrat devoloped such infrastructure..And talking about other states.. semiconductor was given to Karnataka (semicon 2022).. defence corridors in Up and TN and many more initiative is done for other states.. it's responsibility of states to create such ecosystem to attract investors.. not like some people opposing Tata nano plant for political reasons..or some state people asking 'nooku kooli' from ISRO

Every country with a strong backbone for entering any kind of war has had a massive manufacturing capability. Like US, China and even historically Nazi Germany. India's manufacturing capability needs to grow and grow even more if we are to truly stand amongst the super powers. Imports are a liability prone to getting cut off in times of international political turmoil. This is a very powerful step that will make India stronger in more ways than one.

Welcome Capitalists like Dave Calhoun to make huge investments in the Indian Defence sector by JV, R&D centres to ensure Bharat becomes a hi tech defence manufacturer
This way our youths will stay back in India to serve Maa Bharathi

Modi government is doing it's best to create an ecosystem that will create millions of job and aatmanirbhar (self reliant) of it's current and future needs. Kudos to team India and we as people are greatful to this current government. What a time to be alive.

India and USA should work together a lot. I love to see more scientific partnerships.

Only science can help the humanity and the planet thrive. Peace out

[yoriichi-tsugikini]

Atmanirbhar Bharat is good, but try to enhance technological advancements in India in Indian companies, we don't have private arms company with top notch technology, learn from Israel, don't let Indians to work for Europe and west countries 🤝

[tejaspatel]

We need 50% manufacturing in India. 🙏🇮🇳🙏

[TITAN-fljh]

NOTHING CAN STOP INDIA TO BECOME A SUPER POWER IN NEAR FUTURE, ,, I OBSERVED THAT.. LOVE AND SUPPORT FOR INDIA FROM GREECE.... LOVE INDIA AND INDIANS..

[chayanbosu]

Well all right but they have to transfer the technology then we are able to progress.

[tapasvimishra]

*F/A-18 super hornet is a proven jet but the real problem is the variety of jets IAF operates it would be very hard for the pilots to use different technologies in different planes and the training is the biggest challenge for and HAL need to revive the Kaveri engine project as we have to make our own Tech for AMCA and future fighter IAF should address this problem first*

It would be an interesting battle between boeing and dassault for naval fighters, well both are not able to do a ski jump but now they can.

[durgamadhabswain]

Bharat need to develop critical defence technologies going ahead.
