Addressing the Uttar Pradesh Investors Summit, Mr. Modi announced the creation of a defense industrial corridor in Bundelkhand.
Given that India imports 80% of its defense requirement, the opportunity is huge for the domestic defense production industry. The announcement would generate investments of around Rs 200 billion and provide impetus to the defense industry.
The Hidden Treasure (subscription required) team-who is constantly in search of quality smallcaps, in its latest recommendation has initiated coverage on a stock who is catering to the defense segment.
This segment although young, remains a key area of focus for the government. The company has already managed to bag the orders in this new segment from DRDO (Defense Research and Development Organization).

Before a decade, the steel major had made one such acquisition i.e Corus Plc and the acquisition is still hurting the company. Hopefully, the company makes a rational decision this time.
