I think, make and assemble in india with indigenous effort and made in india going to take a long long time.
Going to take a long time? In the sense? I mean atleast in Aerospace Sector we will take a few more decades to become "Athmarnirbhar". By the next decade we will be Fully self reliant in terms of Making Missiles, Rifles, Ammunition, bombs etc.
There is an Institute called as the Institute for Plasma Research (IPR) in India. It is involved in research in aspects of plasma science including basic plasma physics, research on magnetically confined hot plasmas and plasma technologies for industrial applications.

"Athmarnirbhar" is a big word, and even usa struggling with Athmarnirbhar. '' few more decades'' that' a lots of words, and developing and deploying are different, here I'm saying - deploying going to take a long time. ''next decade'' and not ''this decade'', you make me sad, again wait for one more decade.
Military thrust will be a better matrix imho
(Listen to me)You need to have some patience. You can't expect us to become self-reliant over night. It takes time. Also lot of R&D and Money goes into such Development of complex assets like Ballistic missiles, Aircrafts, Missiles etc.
USA depends on china for natural raw material and industrial products for producing some military equipment. One way or another all countries depends on other for military weapons manufacturing from human resources, raw materials, finished parts to complected products. Now USA trying to eliminate Chinese items - struggling.

I just hate these bloody Americans now , these buggers have ruined everything.India braces for sanctions on Russia to delay weapons programs, deliveries
Russia has been the largest arms supplier to India since the early 1970s. Today, 60% of India’s military hardware inventory is from Russia or the former Soviet Union and the bulk of India’s license-based defense manufacturing comes from Russia.
Who is stopping India, India can do barter trade with russia .
Look at the positive side- Indian jernails will get off the high from Ruski equipment maybe, and the distrust for American hardware will even increase. For urgent procurement, they'll go ahead with procurement anyway- sanctions or otherwise, but in the long run Government has a stronger case to shove down desi hardware
Let them keep doing that and threatening us with Sanctions. But looking on the Good side : It will only force us to resort to more and more Indigenous Development of Different systems etc Because if no one will Give it to you, make it yourself.
So be it , no western engine
Why would you want to hitch a ride on a dying power? They have fallen behind China in avionics and EW (forget west), now with complete ban on semiconductors, they will be fucked even more.
That would be history repeats itself Indian gained military superiority in ioc when it was alligned with Russians but it was west who pushed india into Russians while it was nutral and not dependent on Russians but on British. Never learn from history we gained maximum number of submarines during Soviet era and same with tanks. Russians were desperate then.
