Defence Minister Rajnath Singh today informed the Rajya Sabha that there was no question of weakening of the state-owned companies operating in the defence sector, as over 80 per cent of procurement order goes to them and the government has been taking several steps to strengthen them with equity support and clearing liabilities.
Replying to a supplementary question in the House, the Defence Minister said, “Our government is strengthening all DPSUs (Defence Public Sector Undertakings) with equity support. We are also clearing their committed liabilities so that our DPSUs do not weaken in any manner.”
