New Delhi, Delhi25 Aug 2026

India’s Defence Ministry said approval was given for transfer of technology (ToT) of all conventional missile systems developed by DRDO to Indian defence manufacturers, enabling domestic companies (subject to qualifications, certifications and regulatory requirements) to produce DRDO-developed missile systems.

Why it matters

If implemented by qualified firms, this can move DRDO missile projects from development into industrial-scale domestic production and reduce reliance on imports.
