<h1>Defence production liberalization driving private-sector manufacturing with 50% production-share target, output growth and Rs50,000cr export goal</h1> Policy liberalization: the government opened the defence production sector through policy changes and procedural simplification, resulting in expanded private-sector participation, increased quality, shortened delivery timelines and enhanced R&D capacity. Production-share prescription: a governmental target that private industry contribute at least 50% of defence manufacturing, the operative effect being a reorientation of procurement and industrial policy toward greater private-sourced output. Self-reliance and export promotion: measures to achieve ammunition self-reliance and scale up defence exports, with operative consequences reflected in reported rises in domestic production (from Rs 46,000 crore in 2014 to over Rs 1.5 lakh crore) and an export target of Rs 50,000 crore by 2029-30.
