Let us tell you that India is constantly moving towards becoming self-reliant in the defense sector. The government has reviewed all the pending defense procurement plans from abroad. Last year, the government had decided that only those defense equipment which would be very important would be procured. All other pending purchases will either be canceled or will be deducted. The government had also made a rule that no defense equipment would be procured from any country. Defense equipment will be procured from abroad only in case of emergency.

agreed last year

In December 2021, in the internal meeting of the Defense Ministry chaired by Defense Secretary Ajay Kumar, it was agreed in principle that India would not import defense equipment in future. Even after this, many meetings were held on this issue.
