| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Narendra Modi governments ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Make in India’ initiatives are on test by experts. His main objective is to make India self-reliant in defence production, decrease imports and increase export. India has a troubled neighbourhood posing numerous security challenges. The world is also going through a serious transition at present. India is trying to readjust its strategic equations in this globalised world to protect its national and international interests. With steady economic growth and a large military, empowered with nuclear, India wishes to become a world power. Today India is successfully producing a large quantity of arms for domestic use and international demand. It is now one of the fast-emerging global players in the defence market. But does that mean India has become self-reliant in defence? The article assesses it from three parameters—indigenous arms production, military or non-military threats and military modernisation & arms export. |
