The term \“arm race\“ refers to a competition between nations for superiority in the development and accumulation of weapons. In the context of India, this concept can be observed in the local defense industry\“s efforts to develop indigenous products and technologies.
India has been actively promoting the \“Make in India\“ initiative in the defense sector, focusing on developing local defense products. This includes various military equipment, surveillance systems, and defense technologies manufactured by Indian companies to reduce dependency on foreign imports and enhance self-reliance in defense capabilities.
Local Indian defense products range from small arms and artillery systems to advanced missile systems and naval vessels. Companies like Bharat Electronics Limited, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, and various private sector firms are contributing to this indigenous defense manufacturing ecosystem. |
