metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article intends to assess the negative impact of a number of factors on the reforming
  process of the Indian military-industrial complex (MIC) under the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
  government during 2014–2023. The authors distinguish three groups of factors that mostly
  affect the whole structure of India’s defence industry at present. Conceptual and institutional
  factors include the contradictions of the basic laws and regulations of the Indian MIC,
  absence of the common strategy of the Indian armed forces development, politicising of the
  protectionist measures, offset policy implementation, bureaucracy’s impact and inter-agency
  contradictions. Economic factors include the problems with FDI attraction, governmental
  efforts to change the structure of defence expenditures by reducing the pensions to military
  personnel and attracting the private sector. The group of technological factors focuses on
  the problems with the quality and delivery delays of the defence production in India. An
  applied policy analysis, a retrospective analysis of data and content of the main documents
  allow the authors to conclude that the considered set of factors bears systemic nature and
  exerts a substantial negative impact on the Indian defence industry. These factors hinder the
  implementation of ambitious goals of the BJP government, aimed at achieving the “strategic
  autonomy” in the crucial fields for its national security. Moreover, the current problems of the
  Indian MIC are exacerbated by the impact of the domestic political situation. Consequently,
  resolving these problems in the short and medium term seems unlikely. However, in the longterm
  the reforms being carried out by the Indian government would largely offset the negative
  effect of the considered factors.
