Defence Offset Implementation Debate

John Williams has started a very interesting discussion on offset Implementation on Linked-in at

John’s Discussion on Offsets

My rejoinder on Comments till date is as under:

I did not suggest the Offset Implementation structure in the MOD by design. Wanted it to evolve naturally in Indian conditions.

I think the answer lies in creating an indep 'Offset Implementation Agency' under an Addl secretary/secretary level officer with minimal staff to support it, and expertise drawn, as it is, from the working desks of Acquisition Wing, DDP, DRDO, DGQA, Ministries of Home Affairs and Aviation, Defence Services, etc without burdening the existing MOD set-up for obvious reasons.

Offset Project Approvals should continue to remain with the DOD as of now. Will ensure transparency and probity. DOFA organized to clear the Offset Credits. Offset Implementation Agency just implements offset projects in concert with the offset recipients. In this concept, offset projects approvals, ground implementation of offsets, and approving offset credits are the responsibility of different offices. This would ensure transparency, and the fact that offsets are not diluted/'leaked'.

I am sure the Indian MOD has requisite expertise and experience in evolving organizations meeting Indian ethos. A Single Point Agency, all inclusive, is likely to run into lots of difficulties, and representations/complaints as a result affecting the acquisition process.

The Organization will not be what each stakeholder desires, but an optimized set-up per our system of governance for the strategic sector.
