GS3 Security: Defence indigenisation. India's import dependence on critical aerospace technologies like aero-engines constrains strategic autonomy; indigenisation policies and PSUs such as HAL aim to build domestic capacity. Way forward: deeper private-sector participation, technology transfer and sustained R&D investment to close the engine technology gap.
