New Delhi: India on Wednesday notified positive indigenisation list of sub-systems, assemblies, sub-assemblies and components as part of the efforts to achieve self-reliance in defence manufacturing and minimise imports of such systems.

"A positive indigenisation list of sub-systems/assemblies/sub-assemblies/components has been notified by Department of Defence Production, Ministry of Defence, as part of the efforts to achieve self-reliance in defence manufacturing and minimise imports by Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs)," the ministry of defence said in a statement.

The list contains 2,500 imported items which have already been indigenised and 351 imported items which will be indigenised in next three years.
