The Offset opportunity is expected to bring in large volumes of business the size of
this opportunity is estimated at USD 10-15 Billion over the next 4-7 years.
The current global defence expenditure was over US$ 1.465 Trillion with US being the
largest with 40% share while Indias share was 2.1% (~US$30 Bn+). India is currently
among the top 10 spenders worldwide with its defence expenditure growth at about
9.3%. Indias defence Expenditure was distributed as follows - 46% on the army, 30%
on air force, 19% on navy & balance 6% others. A larger share of capital expenditure
went to the Air Force at 40%, the Army got 28%, Navy 25% and 7% to others.
Recent Developments:
Categorisation of Products Changed
Through an Office Memorandum dated August 25, 2014, Defence Product List
categorisation has been updated wherein Category C has been removed and products
are classified as A and B only. Category A products involve highly classified and
sensitive items from the security angle and the manufacturing of these items would
require the highest level of security. Category B include semi-finished products, subassemblies, sub-systems of main weapons/ equipments/ platforms and some finished
products of lesser degree of sensitivity.
Security Manual for Licensed Defence Industries issued in June 2014
Department of Defence Production issued Security Manual provides the security
architecture that needs to be put in place by the Indian defence companies in the private
sector before undertaking the manufacturing of Defence products for which they have
been issued industrial licence under IDR Act. The level of security will depend upon the
category of the product, the company intends to manufacture. Under all circumstances,
the companies with whom any classified information is shared by the Government as a
part of the procurement contract or otherwise would come under the purview of Official
Secrets Act, 1923.
Requirement of Industrial Licence for Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO)
activities
The issue of grant of Industrial License for Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul(MRO)
activities in Defence Sector was under consideration in this Department and it has now
been decided (OM dated 26, June, 2014) with the approval of Competent authority, that
MRO activities in Defence sector may be treated as services and should not be subjected
to the Industrial License under IDR Act unless it actually involves manufacturing of any
components/ sub-assemblies which are licensable and that product should remain the
property of the same customer after MRO operation.
Facilitation Cell for Defence Offset
Defence Offset Monitoring Wing (DOMW) has established a facilitation cell for foreign
vendors and Indian Offset partners to interact and clarify issues related to offset (OM
dated 14/02/2014).

for the session was Policies and procedures to promote Self Reliance and Indigenization
in Defense Electronics. He began by giving an overview of the modernisation plan of the
armed forces listing the major equipment requirements, analyzed the strategic electronic
component of these requirements and discussed the strengths and weaknesses of the
indigenous industry in meeting these requirements. Apart from procurement of new
equipment, he discussed the issue of life time sustenance of existing imported
equipment through indigenization of spare parts and establishing MRO facilities. He
emphasized the importance of creation of a conducive policy environment for the private
sector, particularly the MSMEs.
Session III Enabling Policies DPP & Defence Offsets for Make & Buy
Indian
Col. (Retd.) K. V. Kuber, Advisor, NSIC coordinated the 3rd Session on Enabling
Policies DPP & Defence Offsets for Make & Buy Indian. Col. Kuber spoke
extensively about challenges that MSMEs face in the Defence Electronics sector and not
provided a fair and equal opportunity. He made various recommendations such as

cost of finance or other factors.
Mr. Ashok Atluri, CMD, Zen Technologies:
Mr. Atluri highlighted the present situation of Governments buying and payment
processes and suggested ways to make it more encouraging for the domestic players.

crucial equipments and parts may be disturbed during the times of war and hence
promoting domestic manufactures is not a matter of economic importance but also a
strategic one. Mr. Atluri also requested and advised single tender system for domestic
players especially when the defence product is designed in India. A new category with
highest priority - Buy Indian with Indigenous Design category - is a must if we intended
to be self-reliant. Benchmarking based on international pricing was a must. He insisted
that FDI should be allowed only when key technologies are brought into India and
indigenized.
The 2nd Session on Requirements of Homeland Security and Paramilitary Forces was
coordinated by Mr. T Vasu, Past President ELCINA and Director Tandon Group :-
Dr. Maheshwari emphasized the synergy between the requirements of security forces
