India has initiated a substantial expansion of its indigenous defense manufacturing capabilities, particularly focused on developing and producing advanced fighter jets domestically. This strategic move aims to reduce reliance on foreign imports and foster self-sufficiency in meeting the country’s defense needs. The expansion includes the establishment of state-of-the-art facilities and collaboration with global aerospace manufacturers to enhance technological expertise. By nurturing indigenous fighter jet production, India seeks to strengthen its defense industry, create employment opportunities, and advance its status as a regional hub for aerospace innovation.
