Defending the World
India plans to spend $130 bn on military modernization in the next 5 years, as achieving self- reliance in defence production is a key target for the Government of India. The Government has opened up the Defence industry for private sector participation to provide impetus to indigenous manufacturing. The opening up of the industry also paves the way for foreign original equipment manufacturers to enter into strategic partnerships with Indian companies. Annual Turnover by Private sector in Defence and Aerospace sector in 2018-19 is $2.4 bn.
A Defence export strategy has been formulated with a view of facilitating Defence Public Sector Enterprises (DPSUs) and private defence players in exploring business opportunities abroad. The total value of production for OFB & DPSUS together accounts for $8.0 bn.
The government has formulated policies to boost defence exports and achieve defence export target of $5 billion in the next five years.
100% FDI is allowed in Defence industry; wherein 74% is allowed under automatic route and beyond 74% through Government route.
