During discussions on the renewal of the India–France Defence Cooperation Agreement, India requested that the indigenous content in Rafale fighter jets be increased to 50 percent. Increasing indigenous content means that a larger proportion of components and systems used in the aircraft would be manufactured or sourced within India. This aligns with India’s broader defence manufacturing policy aimed at strengthening domestic industrial capabilities, promoting local production, and reducing dependence on imported defence equipment.
