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.
