Navigating Aerospace & Defense Sector in India
Persistent Policy Issues Hamper Sector Growth
- Given that India constituted nearly $16 billion of the aerospace and defense market in 2022, complicated regulatory frameworks delay crucial initiatives and stifle production cycles.
- Aligning regulations with international best practices will reduce costs and impart efficiency in manufacturing, allowing businesses to capture a larger domestic and international market share.
Over-Reliance on Imports Strains Domestic Growth
- India imported around 60% of its defense equipment in 2021 due to inadequate local manufacturing capabilities, signaling an over-reliance that endangers domestic growth and security.
- Promoting indigenous manufacturing through 'Make in India' initiatives can capitalize on governmental support, aiming for self-reliance and reducing foreign dependency significantly over the coming years.
Expanding Investment and Economic Incentives
- The introduction of new tax incentives and an FDI increase to 74% in defense sectors are designed to ignite tremendous growth in the domestic aerospace and defense market over the next decade.
- Leveraging these incentives will enable companies to build robust supply chains and technological hubs, positioning India as a prominent player in global aerospace and defense manufacturing.
Elevation of Technological Competency Levels at Scale
- The nation's focus is shifting towards innovation, with $1.8 billion invested towards defense R&D in 2022 to bolster modern weapon systems and enhance operational standards nationwide.
- Bolstering partnerships with academic and tech institutions will facilitate research initiatives, paving the way for designing cutting-edge technology that's aligned at par with global adversaries.

What Our Clients Say About Us
"I am very satisfied with YCP Solidiance's work on competitors benchmarking analysis project in the Automotive Glass industry. The team fully understood the project background and objectives, and their output surely met our expectations. Although there were some challenges in collecting detailed information given this is a highly specialized industry, their analytical framework and logical approach made this project a great success. I also found the discussion with their local consultants very valuable. This gave me lots of useful insights to pursue the project. I would like to work with YCP Solidiance on my next project."
Senior Sales & Marketing Center Manager Automotive Glass Division
Asahi Glass Group
"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."
