India is making significant strides in aerospace self-reliance by focusing on the development of indigenous advanced materials. The country's defense and aerospace programs heavily depend on high-strength titanium alloys, nickel-based superalloys, and specialized steels, which are essential for manufacturing fighter jets, satellites, and space exploration missions. These materials are integral to key projects like the Tejas fighter jet and ISRO’s space programs, ensuring durability under extreme conditions. By investing in the domestic production of these advanced materials, India aims to reduce its reliance on imports, enhance the performance of its aerospace technologies, and establish itself as a global leader in the defense and aerospace industries.
