This book offers insights into India’s efforts to become self-reliant in its defence sector. Encompassing a wide range of subjects – such as policy frameworks, technological advancements, economic considerations, and strategic implications – the subject matter explores the diverse aspects of India’s defence industry indigenisation efforts. By gathering the insights of esteemed experts, scholars, and professors, the book also presents an examination of the obstacles and possibilities in this process.
The aim of this book is to contribute to the ongoing discussion on the importance of a robust domestic defence industry in strengthening India’s national security, elevating its international standing, and reinforcing its ability to make independent strategic decisions.
