Aatmanirbhar Bharat: India Exported Defence Equipment Worth ₹8,434.84 Crore In 2020-21

Описание: India has exported defence equipment worth ₹8,434.84 crore in 2020-21 compared to ₹1,940.64 crore in 2014-15, the ministry of defence (MoD) said in answer to a question in Parliament on Monday.

The steps taken by the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to boost defence exports include rescinding a section of the Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment and Technologies (SCOMET) list that will allow easier exports, opening of an online portal for receiving and processing export authorization permission, allowing the legitimate export of parts and components of small arms and body armour for civil use after prior consultation with the foreign ministry, and delegating powers to defence public sector units to explore opportunities for export and participation in global tenders.

Some of the other measures are the creation of a separate office in the department of defence production to co-ordinate and follow up on export related action, including enquiries received from various countries, sharing leads with private and public sector companies, and facilitating exports and a scheme to provide financial support to defence attaches for taking up actions for promoting exports of India-made defence products both of public and private sector in the countries to which they are attached, the ministry said.
