Rajnath Singh Approves 3rd Positive Indigenisation List
of 780 Strategically Important Line Replacement Units/Sub-Systems/Components to
Minimise Imports by DPSUs & Achieve ‘Aatmanirbharta’ in Defence
In continuous pursuit of self-reliance in defence manufacturing
and to minimise imports by Defence
Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs) under ‘Aatmanirbhar
Bharat Abhiyan’, Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh has approved
the third Positive Indigenisation List (PIL) of 780 strategically important Line
Replacement Units (LRUs)/Sub-systems/Components with a timeline beyond which they
will only be procured from the domestic industry. Details of these items are available
on SRIJAN Portal (www.srijandefence.gov.in). They will only be procured from Indian Industry after the
timelines indicated in the list.
This list is in continuation to the two PILs of LRUs/Sub-systems/Assemblies/Sub-assemblies/Components
that were published in December 2021 and March 2022. These lists contain 2,500 items
which are already indigenised and 458 (351+107) items
which will be indigenised within the given timelines.
Out of 458, 167 items (1st PIL -163, 2nd PIL - 4) have been indigenised,
so far.
Indigenisation of these items will be taken up through different
routes under ‘Make’ category. ‘Make’ Category aims to achieve self-reliance by involving
greater participation of the Indian industry. Projects involving design and development
of equipment, systems, major platforms or upgrades thereof by the industry can be
taken up under this category.
The indigenous development of these LRUs/Sub-systems/components
will bolster the economy and reduce the import dependence of DPSUs. In addition,
it will help to harness the design capabilities of domestic defence industry and
position India as a design leader in these technologies.
The DPSUs will soon float Expression of Interest (EoIs)/Request for Proposal (RFPs) and industry may come forward
to participate in large number. The industry may look for EoIs/RFPs
on the Srijan dashboard (https://srijandefence.gov.in/DashboardForPublic) specifically designed for the purpose.
