The government of India (GoI) aspires to transform the defence industrial sector so that it can achieve a 70% level of selfsufficiency from domestic sources. At the same time, GoI currently maintains a ceiling of 26% on foreign direct investment (FDI) in the defence industrial sector, with some exceptions permitted for project-specific joint ventures and for dual-use activities.
