Abstract: This paper attempts to review the development of indigenous technology in India over the last 40 years. It identifies the problems of technology transfer that Indian national laboratories are facing. Indian technology does not have strong linkages with industry with the result that there is limited utilisation of research. India could not catch up with advances abroad because of so much protection of industry. On the other hand, the situation become worst after the sudden liberalisation during 1991 when indigenous technology had to compete with the mighty multinationals. Some of the industries vanished from the market due to tough competition. India should drastically change her R&D priorities to face liberalisation. India should concentrate on areas where it has build up capabilities and excellence over the years, like the software industry in computers. Secondly India should establish strong linkages with industry to make suitable value additions in imported technologies.
