Defence, Aerospace & Homeland Security

India's defence and aerospace sector is undergoing a structural shift from import dependence to self-reliance under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative, with the Ministry of Defence driving indigenisation through positive indigenisation lists and the Defence Acquisition Procedure 2020. The sector encompasses defence manufacturing, space, aviation, and internal security, with DRDO, HAL, BEL, and private players like Tata and L&T increasingly central to the ecosystem. Policy direction focuses on boosting domestic production, growing defence exports, and developing India as a global aerospace hub.
