Context- Prime Minister Narendra Modi will deliver the inaugural address of the post-budget webinar of the Ministry of Defence on ‘AtmaNirbharta in Defence – Call to Action’ on Friday.

Concept-
AtmaNirbharta in Defence:
- The provision of ‘Make’ category of capital acquisition in Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP) is a vital pillar for realising the vision behind the ‘Make in India’ initiative of the Government, by fostering indigenous capabilities through design & development of required defence equipment/product/systems or upgrades/ sub-systems/components /parts by both public and private sector industry/organization in a faster time frame.
- ‘Make’ Procedure has following two sub-categories:
- Make-I (Government Funded): Projects under ‘Make-I’ sub-category will involve Government funding of 90%.
- Make-II (Industry Funded): Projects under ‘Make-II’ category will involve prototype development of equipment/ system/ platform or their upgrades or their sub-systems/ sub-assembly/assemblies/ components, primarily for import substitution/innovative solutions, for which no Government funding will be provided for prototype development purposes.
- The ‘Make-II’ projects have been divided into two lists:
- List-1: contains the potential ‘Make’ projects for which ‘Approval -in-Principle(AIP)’ has been accorded.
- List-2: contains the projects which are at exploratory stages& the process of preliminary Feasibility study is under way.
