Eye on Defence
Dear readers,
The interim budget for 2014–15 was presented by the outgoing Government
in the Indian Parliament on 17 February. In the interim budget, the allocation
for defence expenditure for 2014–15 has increased by around 10% from last
year (now US$37.33 billion). Although, this may seem to be an impressive
figure, considering defence budget cuts around the world, but when seen
in the light of India’s weakening exchange position, it does not seem like a
significant increase. Moreover the declining share of capital expenditure with
regards to revenue expenditure in the budget allocation is a cause of worry for the modernization
and strengthening efforts of the armed forces. Furthermore, the sharp decline in allocation for some
expenditure heads such as “aircraft and aero engine” for the Air Force puts the future of major
programs such as the MMRCA, Attack and Transport Helicopters, Aerial Refuelers Aircraft, and
Jaguar Re engine program under question.
In this era of network-centric warfare, electronic warfare (EW) capabilities have indeed become force
multipliers for all military operations. These systems have assumed a pivotal role in strengthening
and modernizing India’s overall defence preparedness. The indigenous capability in electronic warfare
systems, led by various labs of the DRDO, has made significant progress. The private sector too
has developed world class products in this segment, sometimes even competing in ”Buy Global”
programs and winning on the parameters of technology and cost. With the EW capabilities becoming
the norm for all modern defence platforms, the market for these systems provides good business
potential in the Indian context. Therefore, in this edition, we have tried to identify the various facets
of EW systems and their application areas. In addition, included briefly are the relevant EW System
programs under planning and various stages of execution.
Among the regular sections, we have industrial license applicants, RFIs/RFPs released, new projects
and investments, joint ventures and alliances, country-level deals and the latest buzz in the industry.
I hope you find this issue useful. It has been our constant endeavor to make this publication
increasingly relevant to you, and we will appreciate your comments and suggestions in this regard.

As part of the Interim Budget presented in the Parliament of
India for fiscal year 2014–15, the budgetary allocation for
India’s defence forces has been raised to US$37.33 billion
as compared with last fiscal year’s figure of US$33.95
billion (budget estimate), an increase of 9.98 percentage
points. It is noteworthy that the growth rate of 9.98% does
not change even when the Revised Estimate is taken into
account, effectively meaning that there was no revision
(neither upward nor downward) in the budget estimate in
2013–14.
A national Interim Budget refers to the budget of a
government that is going through a transition period.
National governments require interim budgets to function in
the months it takes for a new government to create its own
budget plan. Countries such as India use the term Interim
Budget specifically to describe this period.
While in absolute terms the budget may have increased by
around 10%, it must be assessed against the backdrop of the
depreciating foreign exchange position of the rupee, since
the same time last year. The capacity to buy new equipment
may not have increased by much in real terms, since most
of our imports (capital procurement) are paid for in dollars.
Moreover, it is disturbing that the share of defence budget
in the GDP has declined from 1.8% in 2013–14 to 1.74%
in 2014–15. In a neighborhood as volatile as ours these
stagnant budgetary provisions may not provide the impetus
that the modernization effort is looking for.

Indian Interim Defense Budget
2014–15: a high-level analysis
Capital expenditure
Capital budget is that portion of the budget, which is
earmarked to buy fresh defence equipment (e.g. tanks,
radars, missiles, aircraft, rifle etc.). It also includes
instalments — payments made in lieu of equipment
purchased in the preceding years. Sometimes these
instalments form as much as 70% or more of the capital
budget. Certain categories including new aero engines,
spares for in-service aircraft, and several categories of
trucks and vehicles are also part of the capital expenditure
putting further pressure on the capital budget.
This year, the allocation for capital expenditure has been
fixed at US$14.93 billion. This is an increase of 3.28% from
last year if we consider the budget estimate (an increase
of 13.59% from the last year if we consider the revised
estimate). While the capital budget has shown impressive
growth, we must bear in mind that the capital expenditure
predominantly comprises imports and is paid for in dollars.
Therefore, it bears the brunt of fluctuations in foreign
exchange.
The ratio of capital expenditure to revenue in the budget
for 2013–14 was 42:58. Furthermore, in 2013–14 (in
December), around INR 78.68 billion was diverted from
the capital to the revenue account after which it fell to
38:62. The current year’s ratio is an unimpressive 40:60.
This trend of declining capital expenditure, in relation
to the revenue expenditure, is not encouraging for the
modernization plans of the armed forces. It seems that the
rising cost of maintaining the defence forces is restricting its
modernization, pointing toward lack of central planning.

Breakdown of capital expenditure (in US$ billions) The budget allotted to the army (53% share of the allocated
budget) has seen an impressive increase of 19% over
last year. Last year, the army was to disburse more than
INR646.8 billion — 92% of its capital allocation — for pre-
committed expenditures (most of it toward ammunition,
radars and missiles programs), leaving it with just INR29.55
billion for new contracts. In 2014–15, the army has its eyes
set on big ticket contracts such as the M777 Light Howitzer,
197 Helicopters contract, the Close Quarter Carbines
project, Javelin Missile and Night Vision Equipment. With a
substantial increase in the budget, it may be feasible for the
army to sign some of these contracts.
There has also been announced a provision of INR357
million in the interim defence budget for prototype
development under the “Make” procedure. It is unclear how
this money will be allocated or if it will be enough, since
major programs such as TCS, BMS and FICV are in the
pipeline under the Make procedure.

The budgeted provision for the Air Force has declined from
last year; however, the Air Force exhausted its share of
the budget in 2013–14 mainly paying instalments toward
already running programs. Especially interesting is the
major drop in budgetary provision for the aircraft and
aero-engine head. Considering that a major portion of this
allocation will already be committed toward contracts such
as C-17, C-130J, Basic Trainer, LCA, SU-30MKi signed in
previous years, it raises serious questions on the ability of
the Air Force to undertake major fresh programs expected
to come up for signing in 2014–15 such as the MMRCA,
attack and transport helicopters, aerial refuelers aircraft,
Jaguar Re engine program among others. The MoD will have
to make a down-payment of up to 15% of the contract value
on signing of the contract with Dassault Aviation if it decides
to sign the MMRCA this year.
The Naval budget for 2014–15 has also witnessed a decline
in absolute terms. The Navy is expected to finalize major
programs such as the Heavy Torpedo programs, Barak
missiles, Mine Counter Measure Vessels, Kolkata Class
Destroyers in 2014–15. Most of its capital budget last year
was spent toward paying for already running programs
such as the OPVs, Project 17 Shivalik Class Frigates, INS
Vikramaditya and some fresh programs such as the Towed
Active Array Sonar. The aircraft and aero engine head
under the Navy has seen a sharp decline putting the fate of
programs such as the multi-role helicopters, additional P8i
aircraft under question.

Revenue expenditure
Revenue expenditure includes budget for pay and
allowances, rations, clothing, stocking of spares, petrol,
oil and lubricants, maintenance works, etc. In the Interim
Budget it has shown a growth of 15% from the estimated
budget and that of 7.7% from the revised budget of 2013–
14. This increase may be attributed mainly to the increase
in pay and allowances of soldiers. Adding significantly to
this number will be the salaries and pensions for 80,000
fresh soldiers being added to the Army as part of the new
Mountain Strike Corps being raised in the North East. The
cost of raising these divisions is expected to be to the tune
of INR650 billion with an annual obligation of around INR80
billion. The current revenue budget may not be equipped to
handle this pressure. How then the government decides to
plug in this gap remains to be seen.
In 2013, the revenue expenditure overshot its allocation
due to increased fuel prices globally and India’s weakening
foreign exchange position. This shortfall was made good by
transferring money from the Capital Budget account to the
revenue account.

Indigenous capability EW systems
The global proliferation of electronics and communications
has evolved into a significant technologies advantage.
Electronic Warfare (EW) is a key element in the Armed
Forces ongoing effort to rebuild and modernize their
capability. This also presents challenges, since our
adversaries are constantly developing the means to use
these same wireless networks, electronics, computer
networks, and electronic warfare capabilities to launch
attacks. To meet these challenges, the Armed Forces are
implementing and integrating network and electronic
warfare capabilities to counter the hostile use of cyberspace,
space, and the electromagnetic spectrum. To put simply EW
is any military action involving the use of electromagnetic
and directed energy to control the electromagnetic
spectrum or to attack the enemy. It has three main domains.
Electronic attack (EA)
Use of electromagnetic energy, directed energy, or
anti-radiation weapons to attack personnel, facilities, or
equipment with an aim to degrade, neutralize, or destroy
enemy combat capability. These include:
•  Electromagnetic Jamming (e.g., self-protection
jamming or standoff jamming)
•  Positioning, navigation, and timing denial
•  Electromagnetic deception
•  Directed energy
•  Anti-radiation missile
•  Expendable flares, decoys
Electronic protection (EP)
Actions taken to protect personnel, facilities, and
equipment from any effects of friendly or enemy use of
the electromagnetic spectrum that degrade, neutralize, or
destroy friendly combat capability through:
•  Electromagnetic spectrum management
•  Electromagnetic hardening
•  Emission control
Electronic support
Actions tasked by, or under direct control of, an operational
commander to search for, intercept, identify, and locate or
localize sources of intentional and unintentional radiated
electromagnetic energy for the purpose of immediate threat
recognition, targeting, planning, and conduct of future
operations.
The measures adopted for above purposes are broadly
categorized as under:
Electronic Warfare- Measures
Electronic Support
Measures (ESM)
Electronic Counter
Measures (ECM)

Wars in the future will be primarily fought in the electronic
domain. Electronic warfare (EW) plays both strategic and
tactical role in any modern military operation. These assets
are employed for supportive, protective and offensive
measures. The specific capabilities and equipment
specifications are usually highly classified. The EW systems
should have the following characteristics in order to be
effective force multipliers in the Indian context:
•  Multifunctional and inter-operable with various
platforms; we need to integrate tri-service EW systems
for information sharing and collaborative action.
•  Secure and jam-resistant communications with inbuilt
robust Electronic Counter Counter Measures (ECCMs) to
maintain healthy service levels
•  Ability to intercept global system for mobile
communications (GSM), code division multiple access
(CDMA), high frequency (HF) to microwave frequency
and satellite monitoring, with both active and passive
systems
•  Focus on deciphering, frequency hopping and automatic
switch control etc. for multi-range communication
needs.
Indigenous capability
DRDO has been the main design agency with BEL being the
production agency for most key indigenous EW programs.
Defence Electronics Research Laboratory (DLRL) Hyderabad
has been developing communications intelligence (COMINT)/
electronic intelligence (ELINT), land and naval systems such
as Ajanta, Ellora, Sangraha, Samyukta, Catch, and Coin.
Furthermore, Defence Avionics Research Establishment
(DARE) Bangalore
developed airborne EW
systems for JAGUAR
(DAWN) through
imported technology
for development of
indigenous family of
Radar warning receivers
(RWR) such as Tranquil,
Tarang, Tarang-1B,
R-118 etc. Airborne
Self Protection Jammer
(ASPJ) system developed
Tempest inducted in limited numbers.
By now, India’s EW capabilities include secure and jam-
resistant communications, EW systems and simulators,
COMINT and Interception Systems, antenna, satellite
communication systems (SATCOM Systems), networks,
stabilized platforms for air-borne radars, C4I systems and
missile support systems, encryption and secrecy systems
etc.
Airborne EW programs
Several other programs are being handled by DRDO, HAL,
and BEL with foreign partnership in Air Borne EW segment,
which are discussed as under:

Industry capability
The ever-growing potential of EW systems as a force-
multiplier for the military has been recognized by private
companies as well. To begin with, they have played a
very effective role with their expertise in electronics,
communication and IT. The Indian private sector has the
necessary licenses for design, development and production
of EW systems and also demonstrated indigenous capability
in most of the domains, which has been verified during
NCNC evaluations. They also have flexibility to leverage
the eco system to obtain comprehensive ToT and IPRs
for imported sub systems, which will lead to self-reliance.
Some of the firms active in the domain are Tata Power SED,
Larsen & Toubro, Alpha Design, Axis Technologies etc.
Private players have been prime bidders even in Buy
(Global) EW tenders and are willing to invest stand alone
or as Consortia modes. They can provide Lifecycle Product
Support -Existing Pan India. L&T & TATA Power SED are
identified by DRDO as candidates for Engg & Life cycle
Support Agency (ELSA) for AEW&C project, beside can take
on Annual Maintenance Contract.
Tata Power SED bagged, a rare “Buy Global” defence
contract by being the lowest bidder in a US$186 million
contract to develop and supply two integrated electronic
warfare systems for mountainous terrain (IEWS-MT) for the
Indian Army in 2011. It is expected to open a larger market
for future EW systems for private players.
Although work is in progress indigenously, there is adequate
scope to bring in latest technology with the Indian private
players, thereby increasing the effectiveness of such
systems, so vital in this field where the better system
dominates the spectrum. Capability to work outside of
the radio-frequency band and in the infrared band would
facilitate search and track (IRST) and make possible anti-
electronics weapons.
Market size
The continuing exploitation of the electromagnetic spectrum
will be a driving factor for market growth. So far the market
has been dominated by DRDO and government sector
production units. The market will become more competitive
with the entry of private sector and partnership with foreign
OEMs. The competitors will engage in joint ventures to have
the technical know-how and the technology. Though the 4th
Generation EW can be developed indigenously, scope exists
for foreign companies to render technical assistance to the
Indian players to produce state-of-the-art systems.
The global electronic warfare market is estimated to be
US$12.15 billion in 2014 and is expected to register a
CAGR of 4.50% to reach US$15.59 billion by 2020. In the
Indian context, the EW systems segment forms almost one-
third of Communications and Avionics market, which in turn,
forms around 4.7% of total procurement. The annual market
size (2010–13) of this market has been worth INR35–40
billion and is growing at around 8% annually, over the years.

Land systems
Land-based EW systems are moving beyond jammers,
which also block friendly communications, to selective and
reactive jamming capabilities, combined with flexibility,
power, modularity and portability. This in turn will represent
design challenges/opportunities for the next generation of
land-based EW systems and components that will need to
operate across wider bandwidths and higher frequencies as
the signal environment continues to become more complex
and congested.
Some of the major systems required are:
•  Replacement of Russian P series (P-18, P-19), Indra and
the Reporter radars
•  Procurement of MPRs and LLTRs worth more than
US$1.5 billion (INR75billion) in the next five to seven
years
•  Procurement of mobile EW systems, both wheeled and
tracked, worth around US$400 million (INR 20 billion)
•  Development of light-weight mounted radars for its
manned and unmanned aircrafts and helicopters
•  Development of EW systems specific for use in the low
intensity conflict (LIC) areas to be used in mountains,
plains and jungle terrain
•  Development of EW systems specifically for deserts,
mountains, and heliborne platforms
•  Development of EW systems for active protection to
land vehicles
Naval systems
Sangraha comprises a family of electronic warfare suites,
such as Ajanta and Ellora, for use on different naval
platforms (helicopters, vehicles, and small ships) capable of
intercepting, detecting, and classifying. The systems employ
a modular approach facilitating deployment on various
platforms such as helicopters, vehicles and small ships.
Airborne EW programs
Some of the recent direct big ticket procurements or those
in pipeline with foreign EW suits are VVIP Boeing(FMS)-3,
C-130 (FMS)-6, Heavy Lift Heptrs-12, Mi-17 upgrade- 70+,
Mi-17 Procurement- 80, Light Heptrs-(A/N/AF)-197,
MMRCA- 126, M-2000 UPG-52 etc. Airborne EW, which
encompasses electronic attack (including jamming and
spoofing), electronic protection against jamming and cyber-
attack, and offensive cyber capabilities to attack enemy
networks would be future requirements.
Heli-borne EW systems
The specifications are under formulation for the plans
to procure helicopter-borne early warning systems. For
HAL Dhruv helicopter, HAL and IAI jointly developed a
glass cockpit. Avionics suites consisting of a HF/UHF
communications radio, identification, friend or foe (IFF)
recognition, Doppler navigation, and a radio altimeter; a
weather radar, navigation radars and also avionics for day-
and-night flight observation are other major subsystems
required.
Saab Compact Integrated Defensive Aids Suite (CIDAS)
has been selected by HAL for its Dhruv, Rudra and LCH
helicopters. Saab has signed an MoU with HAL in 2011 to
form a joint venture for airborne EW systems. Similarly,
Bharat Electronics Ltd.. and Elbit Systems-Elisra are working
together on airborne electronic warfare programs for Indian
defence requirements.

10. 10 | Eye on Defence
Ballistic Missile Defence
A two-tier ballistic missile defence (BMD) network is at an
advanced stage of development by the DRDO. Currently, it
is using the ELTA Systems-built EL/M-2080 “Green Pine”
ground-based active phased-array L-band long-range
tracking radar (LRTR). The fielding of the BMD may see the
need for more such radars (six to seven) at a cost of US$1.5
billion (INR75 billion). Much of the work involved is expected
to be out sourced by DRDO.

New Delhi and co-chaired by India’s Defense
Secretary, Shri RK Mathur and China’s
Deputy Chief of General Staff, Lt Gen Wang
Guanzhong.
• Both sides exchanged views on regional and
global security issues including the security
situation in South Asia, the Asia-Pacific
region and the Indian Ocean region.
• The countries decided on measures for exchanges
and interactions between the Armed Forces in 2014
including a joint Army exercise in India in 2014.
• Other agreed measures included the strengthening of
maritime security cooperation between Navies, officer
exchanges and professional interactions at various
levels of all services and exchanges in the areas of
peacekeeping, counter terrorism and humanitarian
assistance and disaster relief.

Industry buzz
IAF will soon get India’s indigenous LCA
India’s indigenous Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), Tejas,
received operation clearance in December 2013 and is just
a step away from being inducted into the Indian Air Force
(IAF). It also signals the country’s capability to develop a
major air-based weapon platform indigenously. Moreover,
it signifies a step toward achieving self-reliance in aircraft
design, fabrication and manufacture. The LCA will replace
the ageing MiG-21 aircraft and boost the country’s air
defense preparedness. The immediate plan is to induct six
squadrons of the IAF with the Tejas, which means induction
of around 120 aircraft. The first squadron will be inducted
by 2015 and the second by 2017. In addition, the Indian
Navy will have at least 40 units of the naval version of Tejas
fighter. In the next 10 years, at least 200 LCA numbers are
expected to bolster the country’s air strike power.

IAF plans to test BrahMos missile from
Sukhoi fighters
India will begin testing its 290-km supersonic BrahMos
cruise missile, from the heavy-duty Sukhoi-30MKI fighter,
by the end of 2014. BrahMos is fast becoming the missile
of choice for the armed forces due to its precision-strike
capabilities. The Indian Army has already inducted three
BrahMos regiments while the Navy has installed the missiles
on six warships. The missile has been cleared for flight after
simulation tests and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL)
is currently working at its Nasik facility to strengthen the
Sukhoi fuselage to ensure the fighter can carry the heavy
missile.

IAF expected to get AWACS from DRDO
The Defence Research and Development Organization
(DRDO) is creating AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control
System) for the IAF to enable it to look up to 400 km into
Pakistan and China while remaining in the safety of its
own airspace. The AWACS should be available by 2020.
Currently, the DRDO is able to progress in the AWACS
project after achieving some initial capabilities. IAF currently
has three AWACS and has projected a requirement of 10
units in the next decade. The current AWACS comprises
the Israeli Phalcon radar mounted aboard a Russian IL-76
aircraft.

Indian armed forces to get indigenous
UCAV, Rustom-2
The DRDO is developing Rustom-2, a medium–altitude,
long–endurance, unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV)
for the Indian Armed Forces. Expected to be inducted into
the forces by 2017, Rustom-2 will have the capabilities to
perform various roles such as intelligence gathering, border
surveillance, target information and communication. With
enhanced aerodynamic configuration, digital flight control
and navigation system, and automatic takeoff and landing
capabilities, the Rustom2 can replace Israeli-manufactured
“Heron” and “Searcher” vehicles. The first flight is
scheduled in the third quarter of 2014.

Indian Army successfully tests Akash
The Indian Army successfully flight-tested Akash, a surface-
to-air missile developed by the DRDO, from the Integrated
Test Range at Chandipur, Odisha. The Akash weapon system
is an all-weather, air defense system for defending valuable
assets from aerial attacks. It can target fighter-aircraft,
helicopters and cruise missiles flying at a distance of 25 km.
The advantages of Akash are:
• It thrusts all the way to intercept the enemy aircraft
• It can engage multiple targets
• It can be transported by rail, road and air
• It boasts of command, control, communication and
computers, and intelligence (C4I)

Night trial of Agni fails
India once again failed in the night trial of 700-plus km
range Agni-I missile due to technical glitches. Strategic
Forces Command (SFC) of the Indian Army was to test fire
the missile. The countdown was stopped at 18 seconds as
the missile system encountered severe technical problems.
The failure was attributed to snags in the inertial navigation
system (INS). This was the first time the missile was being
tested at night. The proposed night trial has now been

postponed indefinitely. Earlier, in 2009, an attempt to fire a
2,000-km range Agni- II had ended in a failure.

India plans to manufacture indigenous
submarines soon
India is preparing to launch an indigenous submarine design
and development plan with its underwater arm severely
depleted due to recent submarine accidents. As the first
step, the DRDO will set up an agency in Hyderabad to
test and certify the steel that will be used in making the
indigenous submarine. The underwater vessel will then
be made using the same DMR-249A and 249B steel that
was used to make aircraft carrier Vikrant and P-28 missile
corvettes. A parallel effort is on to develop suitable welding
technologies and consumables for submarines at the Naval
Material Research Laboratory, Ambernath.

Fully armed Arihant plans to hit the sea in
a month
India's nuclear-powered submarine, Arihant, will be out at
sea within a month to complete its sea trials. The harbor
trials for the submarine are almost complete. Arihant has
the capability to include ballistic missile on-board, which
will be fired during the trials. The Navy hopes to induct the
Arihant by the end of 2014, if the trial is successful. When
inducted, it will complete India's nuclear triad giving the
country strike capability from land, air and sea in case of a
nuclear attack.

Liberal face of DPP lures slew of Indian
companies
Defence procurement procedure (DPP) 2013, which
stresses on “Buy” (Indian) and “Buy and Make” (Indian)
categories of acquisition, has encouraged a slew of Indian
companies from various backgrounds to enter defense
production. The Government of India (GoI) is committed
to opening up the defense sector to private sector
participation. Opening up of the defense sector, together
with defense offsets, offers a significant opportunity to
companies with strong R&D and industrial manufacturing
excellence. The favorable policy encouraged a number of
Indian companies such as JK Group, Kalyani Group, L&T and
Tata Group. These companies have lined up their business
strategies around areas of defense production, including
design and development.

GoI set to tap FIIs for more foreign
investment in defense
The GoI plans to increase foreign direct investment (FDI)
limit in the defense sector to 49%. However, there will be a
provision that this would include an internal cap of 23% for
foreign institutional investors (FIIs). Current regulations is
conservative on foreign investment in the defense sector
due to concerns flagged by the defense ministry over its
strategic importance and need to promote indigenous
manufacturers. Under the current regulations, up to 26% FDI
is permitted in the sector after approval from the Foreign
Investment Promotion Board (FIPB). The sectoral cap will
increase to 49%, after a 23% cap on FIIs is allowed above
the current cap of 26% FDI. Increased FDI in the defense
sector is likely to improve domestic production of defense
equipment, in turn curbing imports and reining in India’s
current account deficit.

India joins elite club with heli-borne geo-
survey capability
India became the seventh country to own a heli-borne
geophysical survey system (HGSS), which has been
integrated on Garuda Vasudha, the advanced light
helicopter’s (ALH) latest version. The ALH has been
integrated with HGSS procured from Pico Envirotec Inc,
Canada. The chopper, costing around INR730 million, was
officially handed over to the Geological Survey of India (GSI),
a body responsible for conducting geophysical survey under
the ministry of mines.

Defense ministry sets up panel to boost
aircraft sector
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) formed an inter-ministerial
National Aeronautics Coordination Group (NACG) to
centrally coordinate the building of India’s capability to
design and manufacture civil and military aircraft. The
Secretary (defense production) will chair the NACG. The
NACG will bring together the capabilities of Indian entities
with aerospace expertise, including the DRDO, public sector
companies such as HAL, private sector companies, non-MoD
establishments such as the National Aerospace Laboratory
(NAL), which falls under the Council of Scientific and
Industrial Research (CSIR) and academic institutions such
as Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) to create the eco-
system essential for the growth of the aerospace industry.

India comes a step closer to manned space
flight
India unveiled an indigenously manufactured astronaut
capsule with a hope to become the fourth country to send
humans into space. Currently only the US, Russia and
China have accomplished the feat of putting humans into
earth orbit. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)
has displayed a prototype of its first crew capsule module
designed to carry two people into low earth orbit. It plans to
send the test prototype into orbit with the first experimental
flight of the country's latest rocket, the Geosynchronous
Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark III.
The test is expected to launch by June 2014.
(Source: “India unveils its own astronaut crew capsule, plans test
launch,” Global Data Point, 27 February 2014, via Factiva)
India becomes sixth country to develop
cryogenic engine
ISRO successfully launched its geosynchronous
satellite, GSAT-14, with indigenous cryogenic engine,
Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-Development
5 (GSLV D5). The 49.13-metre-tall rocket, carrying a
communication satellite, took off from the second launch
pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), about
90 km north of Chennai. The launch has put India in a
club of select countries with the technology to put heavy
satellites into orbit. Only five other countries have cryogenic
technology — the US, Russia, Europe, China, and Japan. It
also paves the way for sizeable savings for the country in
launch costs. India paid around INR5 billion as launch fee for
sending a 3.5-tonne communication satellite whereas the
GSLV rocket costs only around INR2.2 billion. In addition, it
opens up a window to earn foreign exchange from launching
heavier foreign satellites.

Successful Mars mission helps ISRO end
2013 on high note
With ISRO’s inter-planetary Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM),
India became the first Asian country and the fourth country
in the world to moved into the inter-planetary space. The
scientific mission will explore the Mars surface features,
morphology, mineralogy and Martian atmosphere by
indigenous scientific instruments. The successful launch of
MOM, along with the sending up of India's first navigation
satellite midnight and the launch of the Indo-French satellite
SARAL, has put India among the select group of space-
faring nations in 2013.

India plans a 10% stake sale in state-run
HAL
The GoI plans to sell a 10% stake in state-run aircraft maker
HAL through a maiden share sale in the current financial
year. The share sale in HAL will be the last in a series of
state-run companies, planned for this financial year in an
effort to keep the country’s fiscal deficit in check.
