India’s aerospace and defence sector is experiencing rapid expansion, driving forward the manufacturing industry by producing aircraft, ships, spacecraft, and weapon systems, among other equipment that meet international quality standards. This growth is supported by the establishment of advanced manufacturing facilities equipped with cutting-edge technology. In fact, several aerospace and defence manufacturers in the country have demonstrated their ability to deliver products of the highest quality, which are at par with global standards. The government’s emphasis on self-reliance and indigenization has created a favorable environment for component makers to establish a strong foothold in the global supply chain.
The focus on indigenization has opened doors for local companies to develop cutting-edge technologies and products, thereby reducing reliance on imports. Moreover, the government’s push for public-private partnerships can foster innovation and accelerate the development of the aerospace and defence ecosystem.
