Defence Ventures with Foreign Entities to Face Closer Scrutiny

The Govt. is planning guidelines for defence sector joint ventures (JVs) between Indian and foreign firms. And these will be similar to foreign direct investment (FDI) norms for defence collaborations in certain developed countries.

The idea is to institute security and auditing procedures for JVs and their supply chains. The norms will apply to JVs based on ‘threat perception’ and the sensitivity of products to be manufactured. Such JVs will have to seek prior separate security clearances from the home ministry regarding subsidiaries, directors and foreign nationals (if engaged).

The JV companies must be owned and controlled by Indian residents and their companies. Despite the 26% FDI cap, the defence sector has attracted top overseas defence equipment manufacturers like the UK’s BAE, European consortium EADS, US-based Sikorsky and Lockheed Martin,etc.
