Indian Aerospace and Defence Offsets

Indian Defence Offset Policy stipulates foreign suppliers to either invest-in or purchase from India 30% of the value of the Order for contracts above INR 300 Crores. It adds up to USD 5 billions (Approx INR 20,000 Crores) worth of Offsets Value from the Indian Defence Procurement already lined up. It is estimated that the defence offsets into India in the 11th Plan Period, 2007-2012, are likely to be around 10 billion USD. Some even estimate it at around 20 b USD depending on the defence contracts finalised during the Plan.

We have necessary expertise in defence technologies and markets to identify the Indian industry units to which these Offsets could flow meaningfully, without bias or favour, for a win-win situation both for the Indian Defence Industry and the Principals.
