AEROSPACE AND DEFENCE

INDUSTRY IN INDIA

- S. ISHWARYA

(723814251011)
Definition :

Aerospace Industry comprises of of designing, building, testing, selling, and


maintaining aircraft, aircraft parts, missiles, rockets, or spacecraft.

Defense Industry is responsible for manufacture and sale of military weapons and systems designed to
operate on land, sea, and in the air, also involves research and development, engineering, production, and
servicing of military material, equipment, and facilities.

Current Scenario of Aerospace & Defence Industry in India :

 The Aerospace & Defence Industry in India is a strategically important sector in the country.

 India has the world’s largest volunteer army and 3rd largest armed forces in the world, with
the strength of over 1.3 million active personnel.

 In recent years the Defence sector has grown extensively with a CAGR(Compound Annual
Growth Rate) of 10%.

 India is the world’s largest arms importer.

 India ranked 6th globally in military expenditure.

 Between 2012 and 2016, the country accounted for 14% of all global arms exports making India
the world’s largest arms importer. This is likely to change with the Government’s target to step
up local sourcing to 70% and in turn reduce the defence budget by 50% in the next 10 years.

 India’s Defence procurement : 60% from foreign sources ; 40% from indigenous sources.

 Of the total defence budget allocation for 2016-17, about 31.5% of it was allocated to capital
acquisitions.

NEED FOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE INDUSTRY :

 Government of India is seeking to expand procurement through indigenous sources, from the
current 40% to the target 70% over the next decade.
 Aviation and Defence Manufacturing sectors are one among 25 sectors of "MAKE IN INDIA"
project.

Defence Manufacturing Aviation

ISSUES :

 India is emerging as one of the strong players among the emerging aerospace industry, among
countries such as Israel, Brazil, China ,Mexico.

 The major strength of India lies in the manpower, about 60 % of Indians are below 40 years of
age and is considered to be young nation.

 The country has large pool of engineers, diploma and ITI holders.

 India is the ninth largest civil aviation market in the world and is projected to become the third
largest by 2020.

 In addition, several educational, scientific and technical educational institutions are fostering
domain expertise in IT, engineering and design skills that can be leveraged by aerospace majors.

ISSUES :

 Absence of established Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEMs)


 Entry of foreign players can enable rapid modernization and scaling up of the industry.
 Most of the SMEs ( Small and Middle Scale Enterprises )are struggling to move up the value
chain.
 Poor infrastructure and incomplete projects project a poor picture for companies potentially
outsourcing to India.
 The non-availability of institutional finance on affordable and easy terms is hindering access to
new technologies.
 Non-availability of 'Industrial and Engineering' Talent.
CHALLENGES FACED IN TRAINING INSTITUTES :

 There are serious gaps in the talent spectrum in the A&D sector.
 There are not enough seats available in some of the critical trades.
 At the same time, seat utilisation is less than 100 per cent in some of the important trades. There
are regional variations in the demand-supply gap with concerns for the Western region for
industrial manpower.
 There are negligible opportunities at the higher end (PG and above).
 There are almost no specialised courses at Graduate and Diploma level in Defence Engineering
and Technology.
 The quality of the courses offered is not up to the expectations of the industry.
 There are placement issues concerning to the only technical institutions that offer specialised
courses in defence technology, raising questions about the credibility of such courses.
