In an era marked by geopolitical uncertainty, this insightful book addresses one of the nation's most pressing challenges—reducing dependence on foreign defence imports. It delves into the critical landscape of ammunition technology, exploring the historical, strategic, and policy hurdles that have shaped India`s defence posture and emphasizing the urgent need for self-reliance to bolster national security and strategic autonomy. Tracing the evolution of India's defence production journey, the book highlights transformative initiatives such as Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat, alongside key policy frameworks. It candidly examines the obstacles that persist, including inadequate R&D infrastructure, bureaucratic inefficiencies, quality concerns within Ordnance Factories, and limited collaboration between public and private sectors. The narrative underscores the necessity of adopting advanced technologies, such as precision-guided munitions and smart ammunition, advocating for robust investments in R&D, strategic public-private partnerships, and international collaborations to bridge technological gaps. Initiatives like the defence corridors in Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu are showcased as vital steps toward creating specialized manufacturing ecosystems that can drive innovation.
