The Ministry of Defence had launched the SRIJAN PORTAL in 2020. On this portal, DPSUs and Service Headquarters (SHQs) offer defense items to industries, including MSMEs and start-ups, for indigenization.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s major push for ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ has yielded remarkable results in the indigenization of defense items, with Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh driving the efforts to realize the vision of self-reliance in defense production.

Till June 2024, over 36,000 defense items were offered to the industry for indigenization by the DPSUs and SHQs. Of them, more than 12,300 items have been indigenised in the last three years. As a result, the DPSUs have placed orders on domestic vendors to the tune of Rs 7,572 crore.
