Self-reliance did not mean working in isolation from the rest of the world, but working in the country itself with their active participation and support, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Thursday after formally releasing the third positive indigenisation list of 101 equipment and platforms, which the Services can procure only from the domestic industry.
The list includes naval utility helicopters, light tanks, small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, anti-ship missiles among others.
At the event, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) handed over 30 Transfer of Technology (ToT) agreements to 25 Indian industries for transfer of 21 technologies developed by 16 DRDO labs across the country.
