Powering Up India's Defence Manufacturing

It takes a lot of grit, commitment and resolve for initiating and completing any major reform. Changing the status quo while meeting the competing aspirations of the stakeholders needs a fine balancing act. However, our government, under the able guidance of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has never hesitated to take strong decisions and undertake reforms which are beneficial and in the long-term interests of the nation.

Defence sector boost

Self-reliance in defence has been the cornerstone of India’s defence production policy. The recent call for ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ has provided further impetus to realise this goal. Indian defence industry, primarily catering to the needs of the armed forces, has evolved with a diversified product mix and market. Propelled by the recent successes in exports, India is set to realise its potential as an emerging defence manufacturing hub. We aim to bring India amongst the top countries of the world in defence sector, from design to production with enhanced reach to market, including exports through active participation of public and private sectors.
