Aerospace & Defence

Overview

The aerospace and defence sector in India is one of the most lucrative markets in the world. This sector has come of age over the last few decades. India is one of the top defence spenders in the world.

Much of its defence needs are met through imports. Almost 70% of its defence requirements are sourced from outside the country. This is clearly a vacuum that the Indian government is looking to fill. The result is that a large number of Indian private companies as well as publicly funded research labs are looking for international partners.

With increased focus on in-house technology development in the aerospace and defence sector, R&D will emerge as a critical component in this area.
