Niti paper for defence laws' update to boost 'Make in India'

Niti Aayog proposes amending defence laws to bolster domestic manufacturing, enhance cybersecurity, and address geopolitical risks. The suggested changes include incentivizing local manufacturers, simplifying export regulations, and mandating domestic sourcing for critical components. These reforms aim to achieve indigenous defence production target of ₹3 lakh crore by 2029 and strengthen national security.
