What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Government of India's Defence Ministry is scrutinizing the origins of electronics, software, sensors, and critical subsystems used in Indian-built military platforms. This effort is driven by security concerns regarding potential exploitation or disruption of military operations. Since 2020, the government amended General Financial Rules to require bidders from countries sharing a land border with India, including mainland China, to obtain clearance for government procurement. These rules do not impose a blanket ban on all Chinese-origin components used by private Indian manufacturers.
