Navigating Aerospace & Defense Sector in India
Investment Hurdles for R&D in Aerospace and Defense
- India currently spends a mere 0.6% of its GDP on research and development in the aerospace and defense sectors, which is significantly lower compared to global standards.
- To tackle this, a strategic partnership with local start-ups leveraging the 'Make in India' initiative can boost domestic R&D investments, potentially increasing GDP contribution.
Highly Regulated Procurement Process for Defense
- The complex and stringent procurement process in India's defense sector often leads to long approval times, creating obstacles for timely project execution.
- Streamlining procurement protocols and adopting transparent, faster decision-making mechanisms can alleviate delays, enabling swifter project accomplishments.
Expanding Domestic Manufacturing Capabilities
- India's growing prowess in the domestic manufacturing of aerospace and defense components is scaling up with indigenous production making up 30% of total defense requirements.
- Moreover, leveraging India's inexpensive yet skilled labor force for component manufacture can bolster this growth, making India a manufacturing hub in aerospace and defense.
Increase in Global Partnerships and Joint Ventures
- Global partnerships in India's defense sector increased by 15% in the last three years, highlighting a rising trend in international collaborations.
- Successfully integrating global technologies through joint ventures will not only bring modern capabilities but also boost local technological advancement and expertise.

What Our Clients Say About Us
"YCP Solidiance’s vast network and enormous experience in India, benefited us in identifying some of the competent Institutes, which were not on our radar before. Being a huge country, it is not easy to locate such Institutes that may not be popular or generally well known but that may have specific competencies useful for our applications. YCP Solidiance truly served as a partner to link us with new academia in India, which has great potential for collaboration. I personally appreciate the dedication and professionalism of Solidiance's entire team, & particularly would like to thank Heiko for his excellent project management & valuable inputs. Thank you for the cooperation and we hope to continue the partnership we have built up so far."
