MoD India has introduced a new procurement category – Buy (Global — Manufacture in India). This stipulates indigenisation of at least 50 percent of the contract value of a foreign purchase bought with the intention of subsequently building it in India with technology transfer. Under its self-reliance campaign the MoD will notify a list of weapons/platforms that are banned for import. It is unclear whether this “no import list” will be aligned with the MoD’s Defence Production Policy which mandates self-reliance by 2025 in the production of helicopters, fighter aircraft, warships, tanks, and missiles.
