In a major boost to Atma Nirbhar Bharat, the Ministry of Defence has offered four projects to the Indian industry for design and development under the Make-I category of Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) 2020. The industry will be provided financial support for the prototype development of these projects.

The indigenous development of these projects will help harness the design capabilities of the Indian defence industry and position India as a design leader in these technologies.
