Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday approved fourth Positive
Indigenisation List (PIL) of 928 strategically-important Line
Replacement Units (LRUs), Sub-systems, Spares and Components.
This approval includes high-end materials and spares, with import substitution value worth Rs 715 crore.
According
to the Ministry of Defence, these initiatives have been taken to
promote 'Aatmanirbharta' in the defence sector and minimise the imports
by Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs). These will only be
procured from the Indian industry, the official added.
On Sunday,
the ministry said that this fourth list is in continuation to the
previous three PILs involving LRUs or Sub-systems, Assemblies,
Sub-assemblies, Spares and Components which were published in December
2021, March 2022 and August 2022 respectively. These lists contain 2,500
items which are already indigenised and 1,238 items which will be
indigenised within the given timelines. Of 1,238, 310 items have been
indigenised so far.
The DPSUs will undertake indigenisation of
these items through different routes under 'Make' category and in-house
development through the capabilities of MSMEs and private Indian
industry, thereby providing impetus to the growth in economy, enhanced
investment in defence and reduction in import dependence of DPSUs. In
addition, this will augment the design capabilities of the domestic
defence industry by involving academia and research institutions.
The
DPSUs will soon initiate procurement action for these notified items.
The industry may look for Expression of Interest (EoIs) or Request for
Proposal (RFPs) on the Srijan Portal Dashboard especially designed for
this purpose and may come forward to participate in large number. The
details of the items have been made available on SRIJAN Portal
(srijandefence.gov.in), officials said.
