Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh attended the handing over ceremony of indigenous multi mode hand grenades to the Indian Army in Nagpur, Maharashtra on August 24. During the ceremony, the Defence Minister said, “These grenades have been manufactured by the private sector. I think this is a great example of a Public-Private Partnership in defence sector. I am delighted that the production was approved in March 2021 and just within 5 months more than 1 lakh grenades have been manufactured even when the second wave of COVID-19 was going on and the entire system had come to a standstill.”
