Rajesh Kumar Singh said India is likely to revisit its conventional missile approach as global conflicts and Pakistan’s military developments reshape strategic thinking. Speaking at the ANI National Security Summit 2.0, he emphasised the growing role of advanced weapons systems and strong air defence. He noted that missiles are no longer limited to strategic use but are increasingly deployed in operational scenarios. Singh said efforts to build such capabilities would move alongside scaling up production. He highlighted the need to expand manufacturing beyond reliance on a single public-sector unit and Defence Research and Development Organisation, stressing wider industry participation to meet future defence requirements.
