The lack of reliable domestic production is adding to the woes of Indian defence forces. The sarkari companies cannot come up with anything sensible or dependable and valuable foreign exchange has to be spent on importing basic items like rifles, ammunition, helmet, kevlar jackets etc.

you have no idea about indian companies... many indian companies export bullet proof helmets and BJ to overseas countries, TATA, defense system, MKU mare major players in this field. MKU even export these to US, Britain, Germany.
they only question is why don't our defense forces buy from these companies in a large quality??
. Personal Protection MKU | Ballistic Protection Solutions - MKU

apart from these companes, our DPSU also manufacture BJ and Helmets for our defence forces, those BJ and helmets used by our armed forces are manufactured by our DPSU. they are not imported.

You have no idea about the state of Indian PSUs. Yes the private companies are doing a great job and I whole-heartedly support private companies over corrupt and useless organisations like DRDO. But the fact remains that Indian armed forces - the end users - import from foreign countries. Why is that?

Indian made BPJ and armor is way too heavy. Modern armies are going for lighter and tougher vests while India is going for heavier.

Every crack unit of Indian armed forces uses foreign weapons and equipment. Para commandos, marine commandos, special protection group, special forces - ALL these best units of India use foreign goods.

BJ and Helmets used by our armed forces are not imported. those are made either in privet companies or OFB.
before getting into the weight issue, pls search the weight of the BJ used by US army Infantry unit.
special forces need lighter BJ, indian companies manufacture Light Weight BJ. as you know the time takes from testing to introducing the equipment are very lengthy in our defence forces, so don't expect our forces using/ introducing New models of BJ because the time they introduce these, there will much better BJ in the market.

even US special forces Uses German and Belgium assault rifles(H&K 416/417 and FN SCAR-H/L)

Read the OP properly and do some research. India is the world's largest arms importer because of lack of reliable domestic suppliers.

And not only US but India also uses foreign weapons for its special forces. Nobody in the army likes the junk INSAS.

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has handed over its technology to a defence firm to manufacture bullet-proof jackets for the armed forces.

The government has decided to procure 1.86 lakh bullet-proof jackets for the armed forces and a majority of them will be manufactured by Kanpur-based private firm MKU Ltd which was given the DRDO-developed technology.

The DRDO and MKU Ltd also exchanged license agreement and other related documents at an event today, a defence ministry official said. The MKU will produce bullet-proof jackets which will be lighter in weight than those being used by the armed forces currently.

In his address, DRDO Chairman S Christopher asked the private firm to maintain a strict vigil on the quality of the bullet-proof jackets which will be used by the Indian Army and the paramilitary forces.

JMT XIV A
Maximum protection for dismounted Infantryman
Increasing asymmetric nature of warfare and ever evolving threats of IED's (Improvised Explosive Devices) along with assortment of lethal devices being used by insurgent forces make an enhanced tactical ballistic body armour, such as JMT XIVA, offering complete protection to dismounted infantryman, an ideal choice. Being on foot, they are the most easy targets for IED's or suicide bombers and upon enemy contact they are required to be swift in their counter response to mitigate and neutralise the present threat. JMT XIVA is a mix of UHMWPE and aramid materials offering excellent protection and comfort without restricting mobility of the soldier to perform routine tasks in performing their missions. JMT XIVA is capable of offering protection of up to NIJ Level IIIA which can be further enhanced against ammunition like AK-47, 7.62 NATO, 5.56 mm. etc. using hard up-armour inserts available separately.

Enhanced protection against ammunition like AK-47, 7.62 NATO, 5.56 mm. etc. can also be achieved by upgrading these over-vests with Armour Plates available separately.

Demining Suits
MKU Demining Suits are manufactured from high strength ballistic materials to cover a wide range of applications, including shielding applications and during mine clearance, etc.

These suits can also be used as a temporary barrier on vehicle windows and as a shield during barricades. Explosives stored near explosion prone areas can also be protected with these suits.
