Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has approved the transfer of DRDO-developed technologies of all conventional missile systems to the Indian defence industry for production within the country.
Akashvani correspondent reports that the initiative aims to enhance operational capability, reduce import dependence and increase domestic value addition. The Transfer of Technology marks an important milestone in promoting greater participation of the domestic industries by enabling them to undertake indigenous production, as per applicable qualifications, certifications and regulatory requirements. The provision will enable the successful transition of missile system development to industrial production.
This reflects the continued efforts of DRDO to leverage the capabilities of the Indian industry for the development and manufacture of advanced defence systems. The objective is to enhance domestic manufacturing capabilities, strengthen the defence industrial base and create opportunities for the participation of Indian MSMEs and other technology partners in the supply chain
