In the Union Budget 2018-19, the then Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley, announced the establishment of two defence industrial corridors in India. These corridors were planned to be set up in Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
The aim was to promote indigenous production of defence equipment by clustering defence manufacturing units, thereby creating a conducive ecosystem for the defence industry.
These corridors are intended to connect various public and private defence manufacturing units, suppliers, and associated industries within the respective states to boost investment, innovation, and job creation in the defence sector.
