The sector has diversified through its wide range of products, not only for defence purposes but also for the civilian markets. Indian defence industry is poised to enter the global market with dual use defence products.

The Indian Defence Sector is now reaping the benefits of private sector participation. The private sector has proven itself in terms of design, innovation in product technology and system integration. Also the manufacturing sector has reached benchmarking standards. The most successful ventures in recent times have been the consequence of defence PSUs (DPSUs) and private entities coming together.

India's presence on the global map of the defence sector is felt very widely.
