Establishing Of Defence Industrial Corridor

India is fast emerging as a major aerospace and Defence market with requirements of over USD 250 billion by 2025. These Defence requirements are spanning from military aircraft, submarines, helicopters, land systems to weapons and sensors. With the aim of leveraging the economic opportunity present and achieving self-reliance in aerospace and Defencesector the government of India announced setting up of two Defence industrial corridors, one in Uttar Pradesh and the other in Tamil Nadu, during the Union Budget of 2018-19.

Uttar Pradesh is the fourth largest state in India and the third largest economy within the country. With a population of more than 200 million, UP has the highest number of available labour force and is one of the top five manufacturing states in India.

The state also intends to establish Common Facility Centres (CFC), Centres of Excellence (CoE) and Skill Development Centres to facilitate in providing best practices, research and development and skill development. Hence, the envisaged corridor not only targets at setting up of manufacturing hubs but also aims at generating employment opportunities to cater to the most populous state in the country.
