PROMOTE INDIGENOUS MANUFACTURING

The development of indigenous defence technologies by the Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs) in India has been a major focus of the Indian government in recent years. The government has implemented a number of policies and initiatives to promote indigenisation, as a result of which, the DPSUs have made significant progress in developing indigenous defence technologies and manufacturing them, in some cases in collaboration with the Defence Private Sector.

The role of Defence Public Sector Undertakings and the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is pivotal in shaping and nurturing an effective defence manufacturing ecosystem in India. They can play a significant role in fostering a robust aerospace and defence manufacturing ecosystem in India.

Technological Innovation and Expertise: DPSUs, being state-owned enterprises, possess a wealth of technological expertise and experience in defence manufacturing and production. They can contribute to R&D by providing a platform for developing cutting-edge technologies, testing prototypes, and refining manufacturing processes. DRDO, as the primary agency responsible for defence R&D, can collaborate with DPSUs to leverage their existing capabilities, ensuring that research efforts are practical and aligned with manufacturing capabilities.
