Defence ministry will be releasing its third positive indigenisation list today on Thursday. This list puts import curbs on certain defence items. It also aids local developments and sourcing of a lot of these defence items.

This time, it is expected that the list will include a lot of major equipment as well as platforms. The last import curb on defence items came in June of 2021 when the second positive indigenisation list came in. That list took the total number of defence items under the import curbs to around 209. This number is likely to increase this time.
