ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS Paper 3 - Defence/Science & Technology: India's aerospace sector remains dependent on imported design and avionics know-how despite platforms like HAL Tejas; Rajnath Singh's call for an integrated civil-military aerospace ecosystem proposes pooling defence and civil R&D and manufacturing capacity to close this gap. Such integration could improve indigenisation and cut import dependence, but needs concrete mechanisms such as joint R&D frameworks and streamlined certification for dual-use aerospace technology to move from statement to policy.
