As the war intensified across continents, India's carefully cultivated industrial complex shifted into an unprecedented high gear. Bharat Corporation, under Adav's relentless direction, became an economic powerhouse fueled by the global conflict. Nations ravaged by war, or simply unable to meet their own military demands, turned to the burgeoning industrial giant that was India.
India became a crucial supplier of steel, chemicals, textiles, and, increasingly, finished military goods. Bharat Steel furnaces roared day and night, producing armor plates for tanks and ships. Bharat Chemicals supplied explosives, pharmaceuticals, and synthetic materials. The automotive division, Bharat Motors, rapidly converted its production lines to churn out military trucks, jeeps, and armored personnel carriers. The nascent aircraft division, benefiting from Japanese and American technology transfers, produced essential components and even licensed fighter aircraft for the Allied cause.
Adav ensured that every contract was structured to extract maximum technological and economic benefit. Payment was often demanded in gold, hard currency, or, crucially, in advanced machinery, patents, and technical expertise that Allied nations were now willing to part with in their desperation. Factories worked around the clock, providing full employment and unprecedented wages, creating a self-sustaining economic boom that directly countered the global depression. India's industrial might, rather than being depleted by war, was rapidly expanding, transforming into a formidable force in its own right.
