Government of India has increased the Foreign Direct Investment (FDD limit for the Defence sector to 49o/o; and even higher for foreign investors bringing state of the art technology into the country.

The Licensing requirement for manufacturing defence products has been relaxed, which makes it easier for private sector to enter into the aerospace and defence (A&D) supply chain.

A large volume of military hardware is expected to be procured by Government of India over the next decade and, with ample supply of engineers, scientists and competitive skilled workforce, Indian companies can play a key role across the A&D manufacturing value chain – research, design, development, manufacturing, maintenance, quality control and training. Moreover, defence offset opportunities can be availed in the coming years.

Government of lndia’s priority is to indigenize the A&D industry, attract global players to manufacture in India, and lower the dependence on imports in the sector.

The A&D sector also benefits the states in that it has the potential to create large employment opportunities, especially for the skilled youth, and can bring in advanced technology which can also benefit other industrial sectors in the state.

Vision and Objectives :
The vision of the government is to ‘establish Gujarat as a hub for indigenous aerospace & defence manufacturing develop globally competitive talent in the sector, promote investment in R&D to drive globally recognized innovation in product design and manufacturing & and support enabling institutions in the A&D manufacturing ecosystem
