The Delhi Policy Group (DPG) is among India’s oldest independent think tanks with its primary focus on international and strategic issues of critical national interest. Over past decades, DPG has established itself in both domestic and international circles, particularly in the area of national security, contributing to the public discourse on issues ranging from non-proliferation to national security strategy and capabilities that contribute to India’s comprehensive national power. Since 2016, in keeping with India’s increasing global profile and the growing dynamism of its foreign and security policy, DPG has expanded its focus areas to include India’s broader regional and global role; India’s initiatives to strengthen its strategic periphery; India’s political, security and connectivity policies across the Indo-Pacific; India’s adversarial challenges; and the strategic partnerships that advance India’s rise. Given the hard realism required today, DPG remains mindful of the need to align India’s ambitions with matching strategies and capabilities, from diplomatic initiatives to military modernisation. To support these goals, DPG undertakes relevant research, publishes policy reports and organises conferences on strategic and geo-political, geo-economic, and defence and security issues. The DPG Faculty comprises experienced professionals and strategists well versed in international affairs and national defence, who are assisted by a dedicated team of young researchers. DPG is today recognised among the top security think tanks of India and of Asia’s major powers. It is steadily expanding its collaborative and knowledge sharing engagements with foreign counterparts, from Asia to America and Europe. It co-organises the flagship India-Japan Indo-Pacific Forum with the Japan Institute of International Affairs (JIIA) and conducts institutional dialogues and consultations with major think tank partners across the world.
