Raising the FDI limit in defence manufacturing to 74% and banning import of selected weapons/platforms with year wise timelines will surely boost ‘Make in India’ & reduce our import burden.
I thank PM Modi for futuristic decisions to push Aviation sector.

- By easing out restrictions on utilisation of Air Space, our aviation sector will be benefited by about ₹1000 crores/year.
- Tax regime for MRO has been rationalized to make India a global hub for Aircraft MRO.
I also applaud PM Modi ji for today’s decisions like providing ₹8100 cr revamped Viability Gap Funding to boost pvt sector investment in social Infrastructure & encouraging private participation in Space activities so that they can become a co-traveller in India’s space journey.
