No need for license under Arms Act to manufacture defence aerospace and warships items, says Government.
Published on January 2, 2019
Manufacturing of items of defence aerospace and warships will now be covered by Industries (Development and Regulation) Act and will not require any licence from the Commerce and Industry Ministry.
A government notification issued yesterday said that the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), under the ministry, has issued a notification clarifying the defence products’ list requiring compulsory licence under Industries (Development & Regulation) Act, 1951 (IDRA), and Arms Act, 1959 in consultation with Ministry of Home Affairs and Department of Defence Production.
The department in a tweet said items of defence aerospace and warships now do not require licence under Arms Act. Such items shall now be covered by IDRA.
In May 2017, the DIPP was allowed to process applications for grant of licence for manufacture of defence items. Earlier, the home ministry was carrying out this exercise.
The department, under the Commerce and Industry Ministry, is mainly responsible for formulation of policies with regard to promotion of foreign investment and manufacturing industries.
