'Make in India' an imperative by PM Modi

Unlike the past, under 'Make in India', India will not pay the transfer-of-technology (TOT) fee or licence fee. Foreign companies are asked to find a strategic partner in India or setup their own subsidiary and carry out the manufacturing activity here. When these companies want to export arms, they should source items from India, and then only the 'Make in India' policy will become successful. The strategic partner (Indian), who has absorbed the technology, would be able to use that technology in so.

The launch of BrahMos missile from Su-30MKI comprises several phases. BrahMos is a very heavy missile and such class of missiles has never been integrated with Su-30MKI. Structural modifications have been carried out in the aircraft to integrate BrahMos on to it. This task was completed on the first Su-30MKI aircraft by HAL Nashik, and the modification of the second aircraft is under progress.
