Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar unveiled the Defence Procurement Policy during the ninth edition of the Defence Expo India-2016 in Panaji, Goa on Monday.
"To create trust is my motto in the department (the defence ministry) itself. We are maintaining a big armed force not with an expectation of war. No one likes war. Even staunch hardliners would say war is the last option," he said at the expo.
Let's take a look at some of the stunning exhibits:
