As India intensifies its efforts to modernise the armed forces and strengthen its indigenous defence manufacturing ecosystem under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative, leading global defence companies are increasingly aligning their strategies with India’s long-term security and industrial priorities. This convergence is driving a new era of collaboration, marked by joint ventures, technology transfers, and local production agreements. From advanced aircraft and precision weaponry to unmanned systems and naval technologies, companies from the United States, Europe, Israel, and Asia are playing a pivotal role in enhancing India’s defence capabilities and supporting its vision of strategic self-reliance.
