Current Media Debate on Defence Offsets and Implementation Process

Our country is new to Defence Offsets. Our stated aim in seeking defence offsets is ‘to develop and build Indian Defence Industry’ with support from our defence suppliers. Media is full of articles/comments on the issue. We need to however articulate a pragmatic take on this.

Obligors by all means would shun any offset projects that create a competitor for them unless they are allowed to become ‘substantial partners' in the outcome. This should be appreciated as a basic premise by our policy makers. It is from this baseline that we need to proceed to seek the defence offsets; direct or indirect.

Also, Obligors may like capability mapping of offset partners themselves in partnership with some high-tech company that may be up-to-date in defence technologies and local dual-use industry knowledge. It is a business case after all. DAC/DOFA/Other stakeholders could intervene at the offset proposal acceptance stage in case the offset project does not build capability of the Indian Defence Industry in line with its aim.

Obligor-Foreign Patent Holder- Foreign TT Partner- DAC/DOFA- Local Partner have to work in very close co-operation and of course transparently for implementing offset project(s) within the Defence Offset Policy.

Any changes to our offset policy should keep these terms of reference in view.
