Indian Prime Minister Reviews Industrial Operations in Gujarat

On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Larsen & Toubro's (L&T) Hazira facility in Gujarat's Surat. During his visit, he reviewed the ongoing industrial operations and infrastructure projects at the facility. The visit marked the beginning of a day-long tour of Gujarat and Daman, where the Prime Minister will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of various development projects.

Modi's first stop was the AM Naik Heavy Engineering Complex, L&T's state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. He was given a tour of the facility by company officials and briefed on the 'Zorawar' tanks and other defence equipment manufactured there. The 'Zorawar' tank is a significant project developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and L&T Defence. Designed for rapid deployment along the frontier with China, the air-transportable 25-tonne tank is a testament to India's growing capabilities in defence manufacturing.
