Govt. to Procure 405 Key Defence Items From Indian Industry

The list covers helicopters, warship parts and missile systems, with 16 items tied to the Indian Coast Guard, the ministry said.

  • Defence Minister Rajnath Singh announced the sixth Positive Indigenisation List in New Delhi, comprising 405 strategically important defence items with an estimated business potential of Rs 3,070 crore.
  • Of the 405 items, 16 are related to the Indian Coast Guard, while 389 are associated with Defence Public Sector Undertakings, spanning line replaceable units, sub-systems, components and raw materials.
  • The list includes advanced platforms like the Advanced Light Helicopter, Su-30MKI, T-72 and BMP-II, alongside missile systems including Konkurs-M, Invar and MRSAM, plus High Explosive Anti-Tank ammunition.
  • Through the SRIJAN Portal launched by the DDP, DPSUs and Service Headquarters have offered more than 33,000 items, with more than 15,700 already indigenised, generating Rs 9,000 crore import substitution.
  • Once successfully developed, items will be procured from domestic industry through procedures like the 'Make' route, adding to the 5,012 items previously notified under the first five Positive Indigenisation Lists.
