Three government sources said India will push domestic production to replace
about US$51 bln of imports as part of Prime Minister Modi’s drive to reduce
reliance on overseas suppliers. Government analysis covering the 12 months to
March 2026 shows total imports of US$775 bln, of which about US$398 bln could be
substituted by domestic manufacturing. Roughly US$51 bln of that are critical
manufacturing inputs across textiles, solar panels and other sectors; about 100
goods will be prioritized for immediate measures.
