The dedicated Modi government has saved millions of Dollars promoting indigenous equipment
The dedicated Modi government has been constant in its efforts promoting domestic manufacturing. The promotion of domestic manufacture in the defence sector has saved the country millions of dollars.
Under the dedicated Modi government, the import of heavy defence equipment has almost stopped. The heavy defence equipment for the defence sector is now being manufactured Indian companies like DRDO and Reliance Defence. This is a prime example of the “Make in India” movement. This movement was promoted the Defence Procurement Policy of 2016 which had introduced the “Indigenously Designed Developed and Manufactured” provision.
The exact steps that were taken the government
The offset policy was modified the dedicated Modi government. This step was taken to promote the easy transfer of technology so that domestic manufacturing could be enhanced. The draft of the 2018 Defence Production Policy made the domestic government had set a quite clear aim. The aim is to make India into a hub of manufacture of defence equipment. The policy focuses on investing in the development of the manufacture of military equipment. The equipment includes the likes of fighter jets and attack helicopters.
The policy drafted the Modi government is trying to achieve a turnover of one point seven trillion Rupees via military goods the year 2025. The last few years under the dedicated Modi government, the indigenous development of defence equipment has risen dramatically. The contract awarded to DRDO recently had crossed the Million Dollar mark. The liberalisation of the Defence sector has led to the entry of private companies. This has in turn increased competition which has, in turn, increased the quality of products.
Earlier, only a few parts of the defence equipment were manufactured in India. The majority of the technology was imported from countries like USA, Russia and France. Those days, however, are long gone. Under the Modi government, the defence equipment used is completely indigenous and a symbol of pride for Indian scientists and technicians.
