The Government has set up defence industrial corridors in Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. These defence corridors will facilitate a well-planned and efficient industrial base that will lead to increased defence production in the country.
According to data released by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), India topped the list of arms importer accounting for 13% of the trade in weapons platform between 2012-2018.
The corridors overlap with existing defence public sector companies, and aim to ensure connectivity among various defence industrial units.
