Defence Ministry Approves Transfer of DRDO Missile Technologies to Indian Firms
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has approved the transfer of all DRDO-developed conventional missile technologies to Indian defence companies for domestic production. This move aims to boost indigenous manufacturing, reduce import dependence, and strengthen the defence industrial base by involving private firms, MSMEs, and technology partners. The transfer, subject to regulatory clearances, supports the government’s goal of self-reliance (Aatmanirbharta) in defence and facilitates the transition from development to industrial-scale production while enhancing operational capabilities.
