Big Boost To Make In India: Centre Approves Indigenisation Of 928 Defence Items To Promote Aatmanirbharta

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has approved the 4th Positive Indigenisation List (PIL) of 928 strategically-important Line Replacement Units (LRUs), Sub-systems, Spares and Components after a ban on their import kicks in under a staggered timeline of around five-and-a-half years. The defence ministry said the aim of the move is in sync with the government’s overall aim to promote ‘Aatmanirbharta’ (self-reliance) in defence production.
