India Pursues Innovation and Defence Reforms Amid Challenges in Technology Development
India is focusing on advancing its technological and innovation capabilities through reforms and policy changes. While some advocate for government procurement reforms to support startups, experts caution that success depends on market-driven solutions rather than relying solely on government purchases. Concurrently, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is undergoing restructuring aimed at enhancing efficiency and global competitiveness by 2026. However, challenges remain in talent, resources, and institutional culture, which are critical for India’s strategic technological growth and defence self-reliance.
