equipments. Almost 65 to 70% of defense equipments requirement are being bought from manufacturers outside India. Government’s proactive policies for ‘Make in India’ combined with Defense procurement policy along with offset and a recent Strategic Partner policy are aimed at building strong mutually beneficial partnership between Indian and overseas industries for manufacturing aircraft and defense equipments in India, also various sub-systems and components through large and growing highly reliable small and medium scale industries. The defense procurement policy has made import as the last resort to meet only the urgent requirements and give priority to ‘Make in India’ through license production or strategic partnership, and ‘Make in India’ through indigenous design and development’ or in collaboration with overseas industries. Equipments designed and built in India or designed outside but manufactured in India will have preference. These provisions have been made to facilitate partnership between Indian and overseas industries.

Cabinet Committee of Security has recently approved strategic partner policy for long term strategic partnership between large public and private sector industries with overseas industries and also Tier-1 and Tier-2 companies to collaborate with small and medium scale industries in India. This will be a win-win situation as the overseas companies will have the Indian market and also can benefit from the lower cost of infrastructure and skilled manpower & knowledge workers in India for capturing bigger share in the global market.

industries in the aerospace and defense sector will make use of the pro-active policies of the Government and grow inorganically through technology and production partnership with overseas aerospace and defense industries. India has signed over 70 billion dollar worth of arms in the last 15 years. India has made a road map for modernising of its armed forces and it is estimated that over a 100 billion US dollar worth of contracts for defense equipments may be signed over the next 10 years. This should be adequate motivation for Indian and foreign companies to form strategic alliance and grow with mutual benefit.
