The Defence Ministry has approved a fresh list of 928 components and subsystems which will only be procured from domestic industry after a ban on their import kicks in under a staggered timeline of around five-and-a-half years.
The Ministry on May 14 said the aim of the move is in sync with the government's overall aim to promote 'Aatmanirbharta' (self-reliance) in defence production.
It is the fourth such "positive indigenisation list (PIL)" comprising line replacement units, sub-systems and components used for various military platforms, equipment and weapons.

The aim of the indigenisation list is to minimise imports by the defence public sector undertakings (DPSUs).
The Defence Ministry has set specific timelines for import ban of the items, spanning the period from December 2023 to December 2028.
