India Pursues Technology Self-Reliance Amid Digital Sovereignty Challenges
India is advancing its self-reliance by identifying critical technologies and investing in domestic research through initiatives like the Anusandhan National Research Foundation and the Research, Development and Innovation Fund. While the government emphasizes building capabilities rather than complete independence, challenges remain in maintaining digital sovereignty amid reliance on foreign technology and legal frameworks, as highlighted by recent court cases involving software support disruptions due to international sanctions. Ensuring essential services continue despite external pressures is a key concern.
