It calls for a number of weapons and platforms to be manufactured in India, including next-generation corvettes; single-engine light helicopters; airborne early warning and control systems; medium-power radars for mountainous terrain; land-based, medium-range surface-to-air missile systems; fixed-wing mini-UAVs; helicopter-launched, anti-tank guided missiles; battlefield surveillance radars; anti-materiel rifles; and mine-protected combat vehicles for infantry units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The majority of items in the second list are subsystems or accessories for weapons and platforms already manufactured in India, and are not big-ticket defense products. They include instant fire detection and suppression systems; individual underwater breathing apparatuses; main switchboard and power distribution systems for ships; steering gear for destroyers and frigates; high-altitude water purification systems; and drop tanks for Jaguar and Mirage 2000 fighters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/asia-pacific\/2020\/08\/13\/india-announces-ban-on-101-imported-arms-who-benefits-and-who-loses-out\/\" target=\"_blank\">first list of 101 defense items<\/a> was released by the MoD in August 2020. It included several types of armaments such as artillery guns, assault rifles, corvettes, sonar systems, transport aircraft, ammunition, sonars, radars, conventional diesel-electric submarines, communication satellites and shipborne cruise missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe second positive indigenisation list is another testament of the confidence placed by the government and the Armed Forces on the Industry to deliver cutting-edge defence technology for India\u2019s security requirements,\u201d said Jayant Damadar Patil, who leads India\u2019s largest defense industry association, the Society of Indian Defence Manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patil, who is also a director and senior executive vice president for Larsen &amp; Toubro, added that the list creates long-term business opportunities that will enable industry to invest and build capacity and capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MoD plans to appropriate a minimum of $10 billion annually for the purchase of armaments from local defense companies, though it\u2019s unclear for how long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, a CEO of a medium-size enterprise, who spoke to Defense News on condition of anonymity, said that \u201cthe private players in India are looking for a potential defense contracts list in the future and not a \u2018positive list\u2019 because most of these items have been manufactured in India for many years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The move is part of India\u2019s effort to achieve self-reliance and promote defense
