dc.description.abstract | India is one among the few developing countries that have sought
to establish an aerospace industry. The industry has two components,
namely aeronautical and astronautic. I first map out the sectoral system
of innovation of this industry which is actually located as a cluster in
the south Indian city of Bangalore. The paper identifies the three
building blocks of the cluster: lead actors, knowledge or technology
domain, and the demand. Changes in each of these blocks over time are
discussed. The study concluded with a comparison of the performance
of the sector in terms of exports and competitiveness and also delves on
the policy instruments that are required for placing the industry on a
sure flight path.
Key words: India, sectoral system of innovation, aerospace industry,
aeronautical, astronautic, offset policy
