A parliamentary panel has revealed that the Defence Research and Development Organisation has saved a staggering Rs 2,64,156 crore in the last five years through its indigenous research efforts. This observation was made in a report of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence, presented in Parliament on Tuesday. The committee said that both in the past and the current year, “crucial milestones in developing next-generation hypersonic technologies and missiles have been achieved” by the DRDO.
