To give further impetus to self-reliant defence manufacturing, the Ministry of Defence has released a list of 108 more items to be added to already existing list of 101 items.

Adding to the existing list of 101 defence items banned for import, the Ministry of Defence has released a list of 108 more items to be added to the negative import list to give further impetus to self-reliant defence manufacturing. With the new list of items banned for imports, the tally has now gone up to 209. This will give further boost to indigenisation with active participation of public and private sector for fulfilling the twin objectives of achieving self-reliance and promoting defence exports. All the 108 items will now be procured from indigenous sources as per provisions given in Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) 2020, the defence ministry said.
