HOW POST-COVID GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN BENEFITTED INDIAN DEFENSE ELECTRONIC INDUSTRY

Abstract

This work investigates the post-COVID disruption of global supply chains and its effects on the Défense electronics industry of India, particularly as India embarks on a path of self- reliance and resilience. The research shows how COVID exposed the vulnerability linked to foreign imports, leading to enhance the past measures such as “Make in India" and "Atmanirbhar Bharat" by the Indian government to improve local production and decrease dependency on imports. The study identifies important changes in technology and manufacturing capabilities through qualitative analyses of policy actions and international partnerships. It finally makes predictions about a bright future for the Défense electronics sector of India, with the strategic positioning of this sector in the global market, while justifying continuous investment in domestic capabilities and technological innovation.
