In continuous pursuit of self-reliance in Defence Manufacturing and to minimise imports by Defence Public Sector Units (DPSUs) under ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan,’ the Ministry of Defence, India had notified four Positive Indigenization Lists (PILs) of LRUs / Sub-systems / Assemblies / Sub-assemblies / Spares / Components in Dec 2021, March 2022 and August 2022 and May 2023.
The first PIL has 101 items, 2nd PIL has 108 items, 3rd PIL has 101 items, while the 4th PIL has 101 items for indigenisation.
To further bolster the indigenization in Defence Platforms, 98 more items worth more than Rs 1,40,000 Crores have been notified in the latest 5th Positive Indigenisation List comprising of highly complex systems, sensors, weapons, and ammunition.
It lays special focus on import substitution of components of major systems besides important platforms, weapon system & sensors and munitions which are being developed and likely to translate into firm orders in the next five to ten years.
All these items will be procured from indigenous sources as per provisions given in Defence Acquisition Procedure 2020 in staggered timeline.
This list also provides an excellent opportunity for ‘Startups’ as also MSMEs which will get tremendous boost from this initiative and lead to creation of a world class defence industrial ecosystem in the country.
With this list of 98 items, total 509 items have been put under positive indigenisation list and will be procured from indigenous sources including PSUs and private players.
