1. Project 75 was/is being made in a govt. shipyard.
2. The problem being the govt. shipyard has no accountability, no need to to absorb technology to keep up since they have a captive customer.
3. They have no interest in employee retention especially skilled workers who quit and take up job in the gulf. (welders, fitters etc..)
4. They do not bother to set up and mentor a set of vendors nor do they bother with quality or time or cost.
5. They have ZERO interest in developing the technology further OR even simply absorbing the technology.
6. They have zero interest in negotiating a solid contract leaving it full of loop holes which the foreign OEM exploit for mutual benefit (bribes).
1. Project 75 I is to be made in a PRIVATE Shipyard who has all the necessary motive to take up this opportunity to build more than 6 submarines for the IN.
2. They will be interested in absorbing the technology, retaining their skilled manpower, doing further development on absorbed technology to make money thought upgrades.
3. They will have interest in exporting submarines to other nations to boost their profit.
4. They will work hard to establish a Vendor network and sub vendor network thus developing an ECO SYSTEM that will sustain and promote further research and innovation in submarine technology.
5. They will put in place process and framework and quality standards that will be best in the industry.
6. They will be very particular about Quality, Very particular abotu Cost and most certainly very particular about the time frame for delivering the project.
7. They will be very particular about any Legal and Contract Negotiation and will ensure that there are no loop holes that will make the company suffer any kind of loss.
8. A private company will seek to partner with DRDO or any other organizations that can enhance its building capabilities and will always strive to be world class in the pursuit of more profits.
So in short, EVERYTHING is different this time.
But pleas wait for @
sancho to come and tell us that Modi govt. is no different from the UPA and everything they do is for selfish narrow political gains and it will cause HUGE delays in the acquisitions.
