Recently, India has introduced restrictions on Chinese manufacturingDronesparts of the measures, which to some extent is for ChinaDronesCrackdown on the industry. However, due toDrones**The special nature of the chain involves many factors, and it is difficult for India to get rid of its dependence on Chinese parts in a short period of time, and it is impossible to quickly establish independenceDronesIndustrial chain. According to Josh, the founder of Newspace, the companyDrones70% of the parts chain comes from China, and this heavy dependence is almost impossible to get rid of. Even if the replacement parts dealer chooses to source from other countries, it is still likely that these parts will still be imported from China in the end, which will increase the cost of the middleman. India is buyingDronesaspects paid a huge price, but theirDronesHowever, the industrial chain is heavily dependent on China**, and this series of phenomena has made India deeply aware of its own territoryDronesThe development of the industry is crucial.
In addition to military importsDronesIndia is also the most important in the worldDronesOne of the importing countries.

In addition, India signed a $3.5 billion treaty with the United States last yearDronesPurchase agreement, 31 aircraft were orderedMQ-9B Reaper UAV
India inDronesIn terms of independent research and development, it has gone through a tortuous road. As early as the eighties of the last century, India began independent research and developmentDrones, but the earliest modelNishant UAVThere were problems and frequent accidents, which led the military to stop procurement. Rustm UAVIt is another model developed in IndiaDronesThe first flight was achieved in 2009 and it was planned to complete the development in 2016, but due to financial and technical problems, it did not enter the airframe production stage until last year. However, a crash occurred during the test in August of this year, which further weakened the military's supportRustm UAVconfidence.
Despite the fact that India is inDronesThere were many difficulties in independent R&D, but they still actively promoted localDronesThe development of the industry. In September, India released a production-linked incentive scheme to encourage local manufacturersDrones。The program covers a wide range of areas, including airframes, propulsion systems, battery and power systems, communication systems, cameras, and more, as long as it isDronesAll manufacturers can participate in the program. Eligible companies receive a 20% value-added incentive and are planned in threeFiscal yearPay within 1200 millionRupeeRewards.
India** is banking on production-linked incentives to become global by 2030Dronescenter, and willDronesSales increased to 1.5 billionRupee。In addition, India has signed a cooperation agreement with the United States to jointly develop air-launchedDrones, for the complete opening of the modern of IndiaMilitaryModi plans to allocate 16 trillionRupeefinancial supportDronesand related technology research and development.
Despite the fact that India is inDronesThere are many challenges in industrial development, but there is also great potential for development. According to a report by market research firm Frost &Sullivan, IndiaDronesThe market is expected to reach $3 billion by 2026. Military, security, agriculture and logistics will be driven by demandDronesGrowth of the market.
However, India is inDronesThere are still some challenges in the process of industrial development. The first is the lack of technology and R&D capabilities. Although India** has put in place corresponding policies to support the homelandDronesindustry, but in terms of technology, R&D and key components, India still has a gap compared with the international leading level. The second is the lack of funds and investment. DronesR&D and production require a large amount of capital investment, which is currently indigenous to IndiaDronesManufacturers face a funding and investment gap. Again, there is the imperfection of regulations and regulation. India is currently rightDronesThe use of regulations and regulatory frameworks is not yet perfect, which gives:DronesThe development of the industry has brought a certain degree of uncertainty.
Overall, India'sDronesThe development of the industry has broad prospects, but it needs to face various challenges. ** There is a need for greater support with more financial, technical and policy support, as well as improved regulations and regulatory environments to encourage local developmentDronesManufacturers innovate and R&D. Only in this way can India achieve global resultsDronesCompetitive advantage in the industry.
