INDIAN ARMED FORCES CHIEFS ON OUR RELENTLESS AND FOCUSED PUBLISHING EFFORTS
The insightful articles, inspiring narrations and analytical perspectives presented by the Editorial Team, establish an alluring connect with the reader. My compliments and best wishes to SP Guide Publications.
"Over the past 60 years, the growth of SP Guide Publications has mirrored the rising stature of Indian Navy. Its well-researched and informative magazines on Defence and Aerospace sector have served to shape an educated opinion of our military personnel, policy makers and the public alike. I wish SP's Publication team continued success, fair winds and following seas in all future endeavour!"
Since, its inception in 1964, SP Guide Publications has consistently demonstrated commitment to high-quality journalism in the aerospace and defence sectors, earning a well-deserved reputation as Asia's largest media house in this domain. I wish SP Guide Publications continued success in its pursuit of excellence.

Eric Lenseigne, Managing Director of Thales in India
“We have been present in India for the past 60 years and are here to stay because we believe we can contribute to the development of the country in the various fields where our solution, technology, and capability can be used. That long-term commitment is only marginally a function of the legal and regulatory framework to which we simply have to comply. The recent increase in FDI cap is an important move for defining the modalities of our presence in India, but not for defining the interest we have in India.
Indeed, since 1953, Thales has proactively shared knowledge, technical know-how and expertise with the Indian industry. The company has created Joint Ventures with Samtel and BEL, among others. Thales has also been developing its local supply chain with 15 small businesses in India and plans to increase the list with 15 more this year – all that irrespective of the FDI cap level.
This said from a purely technical standpoint, we consider that the real game changer will be to allow 51 per cent of Foreign Direct Investment in the Indian Defense manufacturing companies. This would further enlarge the possibilities to locally develop technology for a company like Thales.”
