Govt simplifies Make in India rules for defence firms, offers 50 projects

The ministry is offering around 50 potential projects with an assurance of orders on prototype completion and foreclosure protection

The Ministry of Defence has released the second part of the simplified Make-II, the Make in India policy for the defence sector, in order to attract more private industries for manufacturing arms and ammunition. It has also initiated a first of its kind industry meet in Chennai and launched a Defence Investor Cell to facilitate industry participation. 

Under the simplified form, the industry can approach the defence departments on its own with products and ideas, which will then be considered by the concerned defence agency. So far, the industry has been supplying products that have been sought by the divisions according
