The Fifth Positive Indigenisation List has been prepared by DMA after several rounds of consultations with all stakeholders. It lays special emphasis on import substitution of components of major systems besides important platforms, weapon systems and sensors and munitions which are being developed and are likely to translate into firm orders in the next five to ten years. The Defence Minister said 'due to foreign invasions, we had forgotten our innovative approach. The word 'local' became synonymous with low quality. We're now freeing ourselves from that mentality. Our Prime Minister launched the 'Vocal for Local' campaign and restored respect for local goods. Our youth are now recognising their inner strength and eliminating inner doubts. In the coming times, they will play a big role in the development of the country with their innovative approach and knowledge." /IANS
