Why is self-reliance essential for the defence sector? We explain
India is gearing up to take centre stage on the global front, but the journey may not be without challenges.
India shares its land borders with seven neighbouring countries and its coastline extends over 7,500 km.
India's coastal region is of great importance due to its strategic location and plays a crucial role in India's economy.
India has historically been dependent on imports to meet its defence requirements.
To reduce its dependence on imports and achieve self-reliance in defence, India has initiated various measures.
The 'Make in India' campaign, encouraging private sector participation in defence manufacturing, and promoting research and development in defence technology are some of the measures taken.
The Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative has provided impetus to the development of indigenous defence capabilities.
Self-reliance in defence strengthens national security and opens up multi-decadal growth opportunities for businesses engaged in defence manufacturing and related services.
Defence self-reliance is of paramount importance for India.
