Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday hailed the Make in India initiative as the foundation of the recently concluded Operation Sindoor, crediting indigenous defence technology and the country’s youth for its success.
Speaking at the ‘Next-Gen Mobility for a Next-Gen City’ programme in Bengaluru on Sunday, Modi described the operation as emblematic of a “bold and resolute New India,” displaying the armed forces’ ability to carry out decisive actions.
“I am visiting Bengaluru for the first time since the historic Operation Sindoor. This operation showcased the emergence of a bold and resolute New India. In a decisive move, our armed forces crossed boundaries, executing a deep strike that compelled Pakistan to capitulate. The success of Operation Sindoor was rooted in advanced technology and the strength of the Make in India initiative. The youth of Bengaluru and Karnataka played a significant role in this achievement,” the Prime Minister said.
He drew a parallel between India’s national rise and Bengaluru’s transformation into a global technology hub, calling the city “a true symbol of New India’s rise” and praising its role in placing the nation on the global IT map.

During his visit, Modi inaugurated the Yellow Line of the Bengaluru Metro and laid the foundation stone for Phase-3, describing infrastructure expansion as a key driver of India’s growth.
Highlighting the government’s “Reform, Perform and Transform” mantra, he said:
“Today, India is the fastest-growing major economy in the world. In the last 11 years, our economy has risen from 10th place to the top five. We are now moving rapidly towards becoming one of the top three economies… We achieved this speed from good intentions and honest efforts.”
Modi’s remarks come amid a continuing emphasis on defence self-reliance, with Operation Sindoor projected as a benchmark in tri-service operational capability backed by indigenous manufacturing and technological innovation.
