India’s journey to self-reliance is now a national priority, and Defence component manufacturing<\/strong> has been added to the list. The government boasts a $15 billion<\/strong> defence import bill while making strides to reduce foreign dependence. The defence sector is a great place for startups<\/strong> to explore and research the immense potential that Indian Indigenisation<\/strong> offers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the past decade, India’s defence budget has increased dramatically. It is now the third-largest<\/strong> military spender in the world. A large portion of this budget is diverted to imports. This creates a fertile field for MSMEs and new-age startups to enter the defence component manufacturing sector in India and fulfil one of the Indian defence industry’s key aspirations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
