Indigenous Manufacure of Components/Sub-Systems/Systems for Defence

Indian industry should mature to manufacturing complete systems for the Defence sector on par with international standards and deliver them on time and at competitive costs, said Dr V.K. Saraswat, Scientific Adviser to the Defence Minister.

So far, most companies have been doing components and sub-systems of good quality. More than 800 industries are involved in projects taken up by the Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO), but the scale of self reliance index is around 30-40 per cent indigenous production and rest is import.

Calling for a reversal of this scenario and overcoming the syndrome of imports, Dr Saraswat said: “There is a need to make big investments in focused areas to bridge the technology gap and reduce dependence on imported components.”

Components, sub-systems & systems supply to the Armed Forces has been a 'burning issue' for Years especially for the erstwhile USSR origin equipment held in the inventory with Us. DRDOs focus on the issue is a welcome step. However there are issues of technology, and numbers needed which make indigenous manufacturing problematic. Detailed thought is needed on these issues.
