CDS pushes for reliance on domestic defence industry | India News

NEW DELHI: India is making concerted efforts at manned-unmanned teaming of military assets, especially in the aviation domain, which will be a key area in future warfare, chief of defence staff General Anil Chauhan said on Thursday.
The CDS, speaking at the Avionics Expoby Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL), stressed the need for domestic defence industries to develop advanced technological capabilities to address traditional and future challenges.”India’s challenges must be resolved with Indian solutions as a series of contemporary events have exposed the vulnerability of global supply chains,” Gen Chauhan said.
Asserting that the defence-industrial sector has a large potential to achieve the country’s economic goals, he said, “Global military avionics market is projected to grow to $56 billion by 2030. This provides us a window of opportunity that needs to be exploited by believing in the mantra of ‘Make for India, Make for World’.”
HAL chief C B Ananthakrishnan, in turn, said Philippines, Nigeria, Argentina and Egypt have shown interest in procuring the indigenously-developed single-engine Tejas.
Argentina, in fact, has asked India to submit a formal proposal for its proposed acquisition of 16 fighters, in which the Chinese JF-17 ‘Thunder’ and other foreign jets are also in the competition. But Argentina has also insisted there should be no British-origin parts in the Tejas jets, given its lingering dispute with the UK.
At the expo, Gen Chauhan said, “We are in the midst of a change and transformation. In such an era, it is essential that modern militaries are ready to fight, while they prepare themselves for future conflicts.”
