Indian Army achieves 91% ammunition self-reliance, enhancing firepower and operational readiness.

The Indian Army has achieved a remarkable 91% self-reliance in ammunition, successfully indigenizing 159 of 175 variants, significantly reducing dependency on foreign imports amidst global supply chain uncertainties. This pivotal development ensures sustained firepower during prolonged conflicts, bolstering operational readiness while insulating the Army from potential international sanctions. The Ministry of Defence is advancing the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative through collaboration with Defence Public Sector Undertakings and private entities, focusing on critical munitions like advanced rockets and missiles. With the impending production of complex munitions, India is enhancing its defense capabilities, securing supply chains, and establishing a resilient industrial base for independent military operations.
