India's defence indigenisation opportunity: Under the Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) 2020, India mandates a minimum 50-68% indigenous content in defence procurement. The government's Positive Indigenisation List has identified 411 items that must be sourced domestically — creating a ₹50,000 crore+ opportunity for Indian startups.
