Indian Army reduces ammunition imports, boosts indigenous production under 'Make in India' policy

The Indian Army has significantly reduced its dependency on imported ammunition thanks to the 'Make in India' policy. By leveraging private sector capabilities and public sector firms, the Army aims to cease most ammunition imports within a few years. This shift not only cuts import costs but also enhances export potential. Key industry players, including Munitions India Limited and Solar Industries Limited, play crucial roles in this transition, ensuring readiness for emergencies.
