India wants to design, build, and keep its own defence platforms such as aircraft and ships.
The four pillars are reforms, self‑reliance, international collaboration, and exports.
Encouraging private companies, small manufacturers, start‑ups, and universities is part of the strategy.
The country hopes to increase defence production to about 1.78 lakh crore Indian rupees and exports to 50,000 crore Indian rupees.
Four key ideas support this plan: better rules, home‑made technology, working with other nations, and selling abroad.

The aim is to boost production and reach a big target by the year 2029.
