TASL should have been given complete orders so through orders of scale they are competitive in exports & more cheaper to supply to IA & maintainance. Not as if NIBE is Indian design.
In some cases its good to have alternate supply & in some its not.
No need to compare. We need 10% growth. Give tax breaks to industries having base in india who invests in manufacturing. While electronics & semis manufacturing is concentrated, enclosures, mechanical panels etc are still inported, with our huge steel capacity we have the capacity to export lot...

Other sectors have faired poorly like textiles, leather & steel products. Automobiles & engineering...
