Odisha's policy for defence manufacturing may come out in next three months

Odisha already has in place an ecosystem to facilitate the growth of aerospace and defence sectors in the state

Realising the enormous potential offered by local manufacturing of defence equipment, the Odisha government has decided to come out with a dedicated policy on defence manufacturing.

The state industries department is giving final touches to the proposed policy. The policy is likely to be unveiled over the next three months.

“We see immense potential in defence manufacturing. Odisha is home to Chandipur which is one of the busiest testing facilities. We have been in discussions with some big companies in defence and aerospace sectors and we are planning to come out with a policy on defence manufacturing”, said Sanjeev Chopra,
