Defence Manufacturing Sector in India
The Indian defence manufacturing industry is a significant sector of the economy. The industry is likely to accelerate with rising concerns of national security. Over the last five years, India has been ranked among the top importers of defence equipment to gain technological advantages over rival countries such as China and Pakistan. To modernise its armed forces and reduce dependency over external dependence for defence procurement, several initiatives have been taken by the government to encourage ‘Make in India’ activities via policy support initiatives.
India’s defence manufacturing sector has been witnessing a CAGR of 3.9% between 2016 and 2020. The Indian government has set the defence production target at US$ 25.00 billion by 2025 from US$ 11 billion in 2019. India ranked 19th in the list of top defence exporters in the world by exporting defence products to 42 countries. Defence exports in the country witnessed strong growth in the last two years. India targets to export military hardware worth US$ 5 billion (Rs. 35,000 crore) in the next 5 years. To increase defence manufacturing in India and make the country a reliable weapon supplier to friendly countries, the Indian government has relaxed FDI limits in September 2020 and promoting more participation from start-ups and micro, small & medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Defence Research & Development (R&D) in achieving the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ goal. The country plans to spend US$ 130 billion on military modernisation in the next five years and is also achieving self-reliance in defence production.
