In pursuance of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ (self-reliant India) and to boost indigenization in the defense sector, Indian home minister Rajnath Singh has approved a proposal of the Department of Military Affairs to notify the ‘Second Positive Indigenisation List’ of 108 items.
The Press Release by the Ministry of defense read:
All the 108 items will now be procured from indigenous sources as per provisions given in Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) 2020.
The second list places special focus on weapons/systems which are currently under development/trials and are likely to translate into firm orders in the future.
Like the first list, import substitution of ammunition which is a recurring requirement has been given special focus. Not only does the list recognize the potential of the local defense industry, it will also invigorate impetus to domestic Research & Development by attracting fresh investment into technology and manufacturing capabilities.
The ‘Second Positive Indigenisation List’ comprises complex systems, sensors, simulator, weapons and ammunitions like Helicopters, Next Generation Corvettes, Air Borne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) systems, Tank Engines, Medium Power Radar for Mountains, MRSAM Weapon Systems and many more such items to fulfill the requirements of Indian Armed Forces.
This second list is planned to be implemented progressively with effect from December 2021 to December 2025.

This second list has been prepared by MoD after several rounds of consultations with government and private manufacturing industry confederations to assess future capabilities of Indian Industry which will be able to meet the requirements of the Armed Forces. This list provides continuous impetus towards self-reliance in Defence.
The Defence industry can gainfully utilize this golden opportunity to build robust Research and Development facilities, capacities and capabilities to meet the futuristic requirements of the Armed Forces. This list also provides an excellent opportunity for ‘start-ups’ as also MSMEs which will get a tremendous boost from this initiative.
Towards this, the Ministry of Defence, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Service Head Quarters (SHQs) will take all necessary steps, including handholding of the Industry, to ensure that the timelines mentioned in the ‘Second Positive Indigenisation List’ are met, thereby facilitating an environment for Indian Defence Manufacturers to create world-class infrastructure, assist in Government’s ‘Make in India’ vision to make India self-reliant in defense and develop the capabilities for defense export in the near future.
The Second Positive Indigenisation List will be hosted in the MoD website.
In August 2020, the ‘First Positive Indigenisation’ List comprising 101 items was notified, in pursuance of the Government’s endeavor of ‘AtmaNirbhar Bharat Abhiyan’ and to boost indigenization in the defense sector.
At that time, it was also highlighted that more such equipment would be identified progressively to facilitate and encourage defense manufacturing in the country.
