The Department of Defence Production (DDP) has announced the 5th Positive Indigenisation List (PIL), marking a significant step towards self-reliance in the Indian defence sector. This list identifies crucial equipment that will be indigenously manufactured by 2028, reducing dependence on foreign imports and boosting domestic capabilities.
The list prioritizes the domestic production of critical components for upcoming weapon systems, platforms, and sensors. This includes items like:
- Digital Map Generator: Crucial for generating real-time digital maps for enhanced situational awareness during operations.
- Terminal: Essential for secure communication between aircraft and ground stations.
- TACAN Antenna: Enables aircraft navigation and positioning using ground-based transmitters.
- Air-to-Air Refuelling Probe Assembly: Facilitates air refueling) for extending aircraft range and endurance.
- Throttle Grip: A vital flight control component for precise maneuvering of the aircraft.
By manufacturing these components domestically, India reduces its dependence on foreign suppliers, strengthening national security and strategic autonomy. The 5th PIL creates opportunities for Indian companies, including MSMEs (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises), to participate in defence production. This fosters technological advancements, job creation, and economic growth.
