4. Through the Defence Procurement Policy 2006, reviewed on 2008, the Government is
trying to bring transparency to the process of procurement
Capital acquisitions are done either in ‘Buy’ or in ‘Buy & Make’ or in ‘Make‘ category

‘Single Stage-Two Bid system.
The evaluation of bids is done in three

Evaluations take a lot of time (at times as
long as one and half years) because of the
involvement of numerous agencies
Field evaluations need to be done in varied
geographic and climatic conditions of the
country to ensure their sustainability and
effectiveness

down by the DPP by removing the hurdles and bottlenecks and bring transparency to
the process
But that remains to be a reality due to the excessive time required for evaluation

testing and negotiation. This on one hand reduces objectivity of the process and on the
other creates space for ‘red-tape’ making the process complex and unpredictable

Defence issues a Request for Proposal (RFP), or certain indications are given at the time
of Request for Information (RFI) at the start of the process
In the process of liberalisation of defence procurement, India has allowed use of Indian
representatives or “agents” in helping the foreign companies with their bid
Foreign vendors to lobby hard in the corridors of power in the Government
