"Aerospace and Defence Manufacturing: Advancing India's Leadership in Global Market" is a knowledge report by ASSOCHAM and Sugosha Advisory that traces India's transformation from an import-dependent defence economy into an emerging global aerospace and defence manufacturing hub. The report charts the sector's evolution from the foundational years of HAL and DRDO through the missile and Tejas programmes to the current era of Aatmanirbharta, highlighting record defence production of ₹1.78 lakh crore and exports of ₹38,424 crore in FY2025–26. It examines the global defence-industrial landscape, India's expanding ecosystem of DPSUs, private industry, MSMEs and startups, and the procurement reforms, indigenisation initiatives and Defence Industrial Corridors driving this growth. The publication also assesses future-ready manufacturing priorities—including AMCA, drones, semiconductors, AI, quantum technologies and advanced materials—alongside persistent challenges such as propulsion dependence, R&D delays and limited global market share. It concludes with a detailed roadmap and recommendations for technology ownership, supply-chain depth, financing and export competitiveness, culminating in a Vision 2035 for India's transition from "Make in India" to "Make for the World," supporting the nation's broader ambition of becoming a globally consequential defence-industrial power by 2047.
