The Indian Ministry of Defence (MoD) released on 3 August a new policy to support advances in indigenous defence manufacturing and military exports.

The draft Defence Production and Export Promotion Policy 2020 (DPEPP 2020) – one of a series of recently unveiled defence industrial reforms – reflects India’s commitment to boost self-reliance.

This obligation has intensified in recent months through the weaknesses in Indian defence-production supply chains that have been exposed by Covid-19.

According to the MoD, the DPEPP 2020 is intended to position India “amongst the leading countries of the world in defence and aerospace sectors”.

It added, “The DPEPP 2020 is envisaged as [an] overarching guiding document of [the] MoD to provide a focused, structured, and significant thrust to defence production capabilities … for self-reliance and exports.”
