Self-Reliance in Defence Manufacturing : An Assessment of Government Initiatives

Abstract | 1. All nation states strive for a competitive advantage over its competitors especially in the defence sector. This facilitates shaping of the external and internal environment in pursuit of the National Vision, Aim, Missions and Objectives. The Republic of India has taken giant steps since independence in becoming a force to reckon with, in the comity of nations. However, despite having a vast defence industrial public sector coupled with a vibrant private sector, India is still largely dependent on foreign countries for crucial military equipment and technology. As a result, self-reliance in defence remains an elusive goal. 2. The Government has introduced a number of initiatives towards establishment of a state-of-the-art defence manufacturing hub. These include evolution of the Defence Procurement Manual (DPM) through the years, ‘Make in India’ initiative since 2014, ‘Strategic Partnership Model’ under Chapter 7 of the DPM-2016, launch of the visionary initiative of ‘AatmaNirbhar Bharat’ and finally, the Defence Acquisition Procedure. (DAP-2020). 3. The said initiatives have been duly supported with commensurate policy and structural amendments to realize this vision in totality. However, considering the policy, decision making structures and mechanisms governing the defence sector, it is an enormous challenge to acquire state-of-the-art defence technology or equipment without commensurate defence manufacturing ecosystem having its own research and development entity. This study provides an insight into the said impact with key inputs based on the perception of a sample drawn from the population across the spectrum. |
