India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the ‘Fourth Positive Indigenization List’ of 101 items during the opening ceremony of DefExpo 2022 in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.
All the items included in the lists will be procured from indigenous sources as per provisions given in India’s Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) 2020. This list provides continuous impetus towards self-reliance in defence. India’s Ministry of Defence (MoD), had earlier promulgated 'First, Second and Third Positive Indigenization Lists', comprising 310 items on August 21, 2020, May 31, 2021 and April 07, 2022 respectively.
The fourth list has been prepared by the MoD after several rounds of consultations with all stakeholders, including the industry. It lays special focus on equipment/systems, which are being developed and likely to translate into firm orders in the next five to ten years.
Like the first three lists, import substitution of ammunition which is a recurring requirement has been given special focus. This fourth list recognises the growing capacity and capabilities of the Indian defence industry and is likely to stimulate the potential of domestic research & development by attracting fresh investment into technology and manufacturing capabilities.
The items listed in the fourth list will provide ample visibility and opportunity to the domestic defence industry for understanding the trend and futuristic needs of the Armed Forces and create requisite R&D and manufacturing capacity within the country.
The MoD will facilitate a conducive environment and render all possible support to the industry to ensure that the timelines mentioned in the ‘Fourth Positive Indigenization List’ are met, thereby achieving self-reliance in defence and developing the capabilities for exports within the country in a time-bound manner. The list has been hosted on the MoD website (www.mod.gov.in) for information of all stakeholders.
