In pursuance of this policy and ‘Make in India’ initiative, the Government has undertaken several measures which, inter-alia, include:-
- Introduction of a new category of capital acquisition viz. ‘Buy (Indian-IDDM)’ in Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP-2016). Under this category, indigenously designed equipment with minimum of 40% Indigenous Content (IC), or equipment with 60% IC will be considered for acquisition. This category will be the most preferred acquisition category and above the ‘Buy (Indian)’ category. Under ‘Buy (Indian)’ category minimum IC of 40% is required and under ‘Buy & Make (Indian)’ category a minimum IC of 50% will be required in ‘Make’ portion of the scheme. The ‘Make’ Procedure has been refined to ensure increased participation of Indian industry.
- Industrial licensing with respect to Defence sector has been revised and most of the components, parts, sub-systems, testing equipment and production equipment have been removed from the Defence Products List for the purpose of Industrial Licenses so as to remove entry barriers for industry, particularly with respect to small & medium segments.
- Under the new FDI policy, foreign investment up to 49% through automatic route and beyond 49% through Government route has been allowed in the Defence sector.
- Creation of level playing field between public sector and Indian private sector with regard to Exchange Rate Variation protection and levy of Excise and Customs duty.
- Incorporation of a Policy on Strategic Partnerships in the Defence Sector in DPP-2016 intending to institutionalise a transparent, objective and functional mechanism to encourage broader participation of the private sector, in addition to Defence PSUs and Ordnance Factory Board (OFB).

Self Reliance in Defence Production
Self-reliance is a major corner-stone on which the military capability of any nation rests. Accordingly, the Defence Production Policy promulgated by the Government, aims at achieving substantive self-reliance in the design, development and production of equipment, weapon systems, platforms required for defence in as early a time frame possible, creating conditions conducive for private industry to play an active role in this endeavour; enhancing potential of SMEs in indigenisation and broadening the defence R&D base of the country.
Defence manufacturing is primarily driven by capital acquisition of defence equipment. Under ‘Make in India’ initiative of the Government, several measures have been taken to promote indigenous design, development and manufacture of defence equipment in the country by harnessing the capabilities of the public and private sector. These measures include according preference to procurement from Indian vendors under the Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP), simplification of Make procedure, introduction of simplified procedure for Make II sub-category, liberalization of the licensing regime and FDI policy by raising the cap on FDI in the defence sector, simplification of export procedure, streamlining of defence offset guidelines etc. Recently, the Government has notified the ‘Strategic Partnership (SP)’ Model which envisages establishment of long-term strategic partnerships with Indian entities through a transparent and competitive process, wherein they would tie up with global Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to seek technology transfers to set up domestic manufacturing infrastructure and supply chains.
The expenditure on purchase of defence equipment from Indian vendors for the three services during the last three years, is as given below:-
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE:
(Rs. in crore)

The Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP) provides various avenues for interaction with the industry. Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff (HQIDS) / Service Headquarters (SHQs), as the case may be, through regular and structured interactions, shares the details of procurement schemes with the industry, and the industry is involved at the feasibility stage itself. Draft Preliminary Services Qualitative Requirements (PSQRs), indicative time frame and envisaged quantities of schemes are shared with the industry. HQIDS / SHQs upload the broad details of the scheme on Ministry of Defence and SHQ websites. The Categorisation committees viz., Services Capital Acquisition Categorisation Committee (SCAPCC) / Services Capital Acquisition Categorisation Higher Committee (SCAPCHC) also invite industry representatives, associations / representatives nominated by industry associations, for presentation and clarifications, as and when required.
No target is fixed for import of defence equipment. Defence equipment is being imported from various countries as per the operational requirements of the Armed Forces. During the last three financial years and current year (upto 30.11.17), 119 contracts involving Rs 1,16,523 crore have been signed with Indian vendors and 68 contracts involving Rs.1,24,291 crore have been signed with foreign vendors for capital procurement of Defence equipment for Armed forces including rockets, simulator and component level repair facility for Tanks from Russia, Laser Designation Pods, radars, Pods for aircraft Radios, Weapons for Garuds and Missiles from Israel, Aircraft, Helicopters, Missiles, Artillery Guns and Simulators from USA and Aircraft, Ammunition, High Zone Modules of Bi-Modular Charges from 155mm Guns from France.
Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion (DIPP) vide Press Note No.5 (2016 Series) has notified revised FDI policy under which FDI is allowed under automatic route upto 49% and beyond 49% through Government route wherever it is likely to result in access to modern technology or for other reasons to be recorded.

Palghar to have aircraft manufacturing facility
DH News Service, Mumbai, Feb 20 2018, 22:41 IST
Even as the aircraft that Captain Amol Yadav made on the terrace of his flat in Mumbai is yet to take to the skies, his initiative has got a boost.
The Maharashtra government has signed an Memorandum of Understanding involving an investment of Rs 35,000 crore with Yadav and Thrust Aircraft Pvt Ltd.
The MoU was signed at the ongoing Magnetic Maharashtra Convergence 2018 Global Investors Summit.
Yadav, who is a deputy chief pilot with Jet Airways, has been in talks with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for the last couple of years for his dreams of an Indian-made aircraft.
During the Make in India summit in February 2016, his display of his aircraft received a good response - including appreciation from Civil Aviation Minister P Ashok Gajapathi Raju and Fadnavis.
Incidentally, both the Make in India and Magnetic Maharashtra summits were inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"The aircraft will be tested in a couple of months," said 42-year-old Yadav.
According to the MoU, an aircraft manufacturing facility would be set up across 157 acres in Palghar district, which neighbours Mumbai.
"We will be making 19-seater aircraft in the facility… that is the plan as of now," Yadav said.
Finer details of the policy framework is yet to be known.
In November 2017, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation has given him registration for the aircraft that he had made.
There was also some controversy when he decided to name the aircraft VT-NMD, where NM stands for Narendra Modi and D for Devendra.
Capt Yadav made the aircraft in the terrace of his home at Charkop. The terrace, which is attached to his 3 BHK flat, is spread over 1,600 sq ft and that has been his workshop.
Yadav was inspired to try his hand at assembling planes after he saw flying enthusiasts in the US purchasing phased-out planes and turning them into customised 6 or 12 seater flying machines.
