Abstract
Offset policy has been one of the policy instruments adopted by the Government of India (GoI) in order to promote local manufacture. Offset policy is believed to promote indigenous manufacture of high end products and to facilitate creation of jobs. This paper probes the impact of offset policy on the Indian aerospace industry in the backdrop of extant literature. It draws parallels with similar policies in many other countries and provides useful perspectives about the efficacy and future scope of the policy.
