According to a press release issued by the Government of India, Ministry of Defence (MoD) has formulated a draft Defence Production and Export Promotion Policy 2020 (DPEPP 2020). Mr. Tribhuvan Darbari said that the Defence Production and Export Promotion Policy 2020 will provide impetus to self-reliance in defense manufacturing. Mr. Tribhuvan Darbari, MD & CEO- Texmaco (Adventz Group) further added that The external dependence on weapons, spares and ammunition puts India at risk during military crises. In addition to that access to advanced technology is a major concern in the case of imported arms.
