The Navy is set to unveil an updated indigenisation roadmap next week, as announced by the Vice Chief.
The anticipated update in the indigenisation roadmap by the Navy includes:
  • Increased focus on the development and procurement of indigenous naval technologies and equipment.
  • Enhancement of collaboration between the Indian Navy and the indigenous defence industry.
  • Emphasis on the production of high-tech naval platforms, such as ships, submarines, and aircraft carriers, domestically.
  • Expansion of initiatives aimed at indigenously manufacturing critical components and systems required for naval operations.
  • Promotion of research and development efforts to foster innovation and self-reliance in naval technologies.
  • Strengthening partnerships with academia, research institutes, and private organizations to harness their expertise in indigenisation projects.
  • Creating an enabling environment to facilitate the participation of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in naval indigenisation.
These updates signify the Indian Navy's commitment to achieving self-sufficiency in defence production and reducing dependency on foreign sources for naval capabilities.
