ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS Paper 3 - Defence/Indigenisation: the delivery reflects India's push for self-reliance in fighter aircraft manufacturing under Atmanirbhar Bharat, reducing dependence on imported platforms. Persistent concerns remain around production scale-up and engine indigenisation (e.g., Kaveri engine delays), pointing to a way forward of deeper private-sector participation and faster technology absorption in defence manufacturing.
