Indian firms identified to have requisite technical and financial capabilities would be required to submit project proposals indicating detailed roadmap for development and production of the items over its life cycle. They will also be required to spell out the proposed production arrangement with the foreign OEM along with the content of the Transfer of Technology (ToT). The product so manufactured and supplied by the Indian Company to the MOD / Its Agencies must have 50% indigenous content. Thus amended DPP-2008, would enable pro-active participation of Indian Defence Industry in manufacturing defence products through co-production arrangements, such as JVs, with foreign manufacturers and through ToT.
Under Amendment 2009 to the DPP-2008, a public version of the Long Term Perspective Plan of the Armed Forces outlining technology perspective and capability roadmap covering a period of 15 years will be widely publicised and made available on MoDs website.
Further, to facilitate active participation of domestic industry in acquisition planning, Reps of Companies and Industry Associations will be invited for presentations and consultations in procurement meetings before decisions on the source of procurement are taken.
By an amendment, the role of the Independent Monitors (IM) is more defined and enlarged. It would enable them to scrutinize complaints with regards to violation of Integrity Pact.
