Defence Minister Rajnath Singh this month revealed a major policy decision, announcing an imposition of phase-wise ban on importing of 101 military platforms and weapons systems aiming to promote and support the domestic defence industry.
Raj Kumar, secretary, Department of Defence Production, said, “We are preparing country-wise profiles of products, weapons and platforms which are probably needed by our friendly countries. So we are now planning to start web interaction led by the industry.”
He also said, “That country’s defence attache, our DPSUs (defence public sector undertakings), industry, will then figure out what is in the store for us to promote there for exports.”
