No import means no foreign design and only indigenous designed, developed & manufactured products or it also includes foreign products manf in India? If former, do we have indigenous capabilities for all weapons in the list, In the latter, it’s buy & make as per existing DPP.
We have to fix the DPSUs & OFBs which stand to gain - their quality, delivery time, maintenance, or our operational readiness will be impacted. Some of the products which pvt sector already has like light & towed Howitzers, AFVs is welcome. Order in numbers. Encourage pvt sector
If this list includes foreign weapons to be manufactured in India as it seems, there can be a situation were you foreign company willing to manf in India, take away order from Indian design & developed weapon. Eg Light & Towed Howitzers.
Corvettes are in the no import list, not frigates. Frigates should also be in the list. We imported Russian ones despite our own & more advanced Shivalik & its even more advanced follow up, Nilgiri class.

That will put a ? on projects like P75i, C-295. Maybe need a list that explicitly says Indian Design,Developed & manf https://t.co/JzVOHgYaH1
