A Defence Testing Infrastructure Scheme (DTIS) has been approved by the Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. The scheme with an outlay of Rs 400 crore, has been approved to offer private sector defence and aerospace companies affordable facilities to test as well as validate the weaponry designed by them. The DTIS scheme has been approved to promote indigenous defence capability, specifically amongst micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and start-ups. Under this scheme, the private sector will also have access to facilities such as sophisticated and costly testing facilities for firearms, ammunition, electronics and radar at government expense.
