The NDTV Defence Summit 2026, a one-day defence conclave, opened on Wednesday with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh declaring that India is now in the fifth generation of warfare. The summit, themed 'India's New Defence Edge', brings together the chiefs of the Army, Navy and Air Force, along with the Chief of Defence Staff and senior defence officials.
Discussions at the summit will cover Operation Sindoor, artificial intelligence, drones, space, Atmanirbharta (self-reliance) and India's defence partnerships. Military leaders, experts and industry representatives are participating in the event.

Coverage from both NDTV and NDTV Profit is uniform straight reporting, focused on the minister's statement and the summit schedule. No critical or alternative framing appears. The summit serves as a platform for the government to showcase its defence narrative, with the fifth-generation warfare remark underscoring India's evolving military posture. The real test will be how these discussions translate into policy and procurement decisions in the coming months.
