A bid to weaponise indigenisation

UPSC Practice recommends A bid to weaponise indigenisation.

The push to indigenising hardware production is being led by the public sector that is supplying the export market with light attack helicopters and cruise missiles. The navy has placed a repeat order for a home-built aircraft carrier. This apart, the private sector has been roped into defence production with, for instance, the Tatas tying up with Airbus to make transport aircraft.
