defence ministry moves to safeguard drone supply chain from Chinese influence

A strict new framework has been finalized by the Indian defense establishment to guarantee that drones purchased from private domestic companies are completely free of Chinese electronics and components.

It is anticipated that the mechanism, which consists of thorough technical evaluation and verification protocols, will be implemented in the coming months. In addition to strengthening the existing safeguards, it will impose stricter certification standards on drone manufacturers.

“The framework has been completed and is under approval. Once approved, thorough testing will be conducted to ensure our equipment is free from any security vulnerabilities“, stated Major General C.S. Mann, Army Design Bureau Additional Director General.

Given the ongoing military standoff with China and the Indian armed forces’ continued increase in drone acquisitions, this action has become more and more necessary. The recent Operation Sindoor, a high-intensity cross-border engagement with Pakistan from May 7 to 10, which heavily relied on drone deployment, served as additional evidence of the urgency.

The forthcoming framework is a component of a larger initiative to guarantee that India’s defense technology ecosystem is safe, independent, and devoid of external dependencies that might present strategic risks, particularly in delicate defense platforms like unmanned aerial vehicles.
