The seventh edition of Defexpo India 2012, held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi from March 29 to April 1 had an overwhelming and unprecedented response both from the private and public sector. Inaugurating the expo, Defence Minsiter A.K. Antony emphasised on the need for indigenisation in defence sector. “Our emphasis is on public-private sector partnership in the defence industry. Our defence industry is now open up to 100 per cent for Indian private sector participation, while foreign direct investment (FDI) is permissible up to 26 per cent.” Addressing the media, the Defence Minister said that India is fast moving towards 40 per cent indigenisation of defence production from the present 30 per cent.
