Eye on defence

Dear Readers,

The Indian defence industry is entering an exciting phase with the

Government of India embarking on rapid indigenization. The growing

importance can be gauged by the proposed inclusion of defence in

the Twelfth Five Year Plan (201217).

Amidst this rapidly changing landscape, we are pleased to present

the Eye on Defence, Ernst & Youngs quarterly newsletter on

defence for the period October-December 2011. This issue of Eye

on Defence covers key topics, which include the urgent need to monitor offsets and the

market opportunities for relatively new technology prod-ucts such as electronic fuze.

With the recent amendment in DPP-2011 allowing the tier-1 suppliers to discharge off-

set obligations, we look forward to help the Indian industry identify such suppliers on aparticular program. Among the regular sections there are industrial license applicants, new

projects and investments, joint ventures and al-liances, country-level deals and the latest

buzz in the industry.

We hope you enjoy reading this issue. It has been our constant endeavor to make this

publication more relevant to you and would appreciate your comments and suggestions in

this regard.

Need for offset monitoringand a suitable solutionBackground

With MMRCA becoming a reality in the near future, a US$67 billion of business for the

Indian industry is expected from this one single program. Since the inclusion of offsets in

DPP 2006, contracts worth INR140 billion have already been signed by the Indian industry

with foreign OEMs under offsets alone and are under various stages of implementation.

However, there are many more exciting opportunities in terms of business potential in

offsets, in the very near future. Industry in India, has taken this opportunity seriously till

date both relating to current opportunities and the ones already accorded. Industry buzz is,

Is it true that so many hundreds of crores of offsets are being discharged, if so where are

they and who are the beneciaries?

The offsets opportunity created by the Government of India (GoI) was intended to act

as an enabler to allow a considerable segment of the Indian industry to be a part of the

defence industry, thereby creating an environment for serious defence manufacturing.

The restrictive regimes prevalent in the past created the monopoly of the defence public

sector enterprises, since the defence sector enjoyed special treatment. Opening of the

defence sector to private participation in 2001, with a restriction of 26% FDI, both subject

to licensing was indeed a visionary step (considering the highly restrictive regimes prevalent

as well as the reluctance to have an open mind toward this sector) to unleash the potential

in the private industries, which hitherto have done exceedingly well in other sectors.

This implies that today, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) will have to deal with a gure of

approximately 30,000 companies when any reference is made to the defence sector.

Inclusion of a dedicated Appendix on offsets in the Defence Procurement Procedure

(DPP) 2005 was really the rst step toward setting out to repatriate a portion of the

foreign exchange outgo, toward generating defence business. Detailed offset guidelines

incorporated in DPP 2006, spelt out the scope and methods of offset discharge, besides a

modus operandi for evaluation and acceptance, signing of contract and a brief mention on

offset monitoring. This is well intended and made on purpose, since that was indeed the

beginning and the focus was rightly on the scope and methods of discharge of offsets.

Eye on defence | 2

AimWe are into the sixth year since the procedure was formulated for discharge of offsets and

time is ripe to seriously consider a monitoring mechanism for offsets contracts that the GoI

has entered.

The aim of this article is to analyze the present organization for offset monitoring and to

suggest a suitable structure.

Need

The need for offset monitoring is paramount for compliance and adherence to the stated

contract that includes an offset schedule. A number of deductions can be drawn from a

careful analysis of the monitoring mechanism, which could potentially be helpful to the

administering authorities to be able to rene or even redene the policies for future as well

as formulate detailed guidelines for evaluation and acceptance. Thus, the offset schedule,

which forms an integral part of the contract, can be more pragmatic and practical, ensuring

effective implementation. Analysis of some of the methods adopted by OEMs in actual

discharge of offsets will suggest whether the implementation of offsets was in conformation

with the spirit of the policy or only namesake adherence.

Thus, there is a need for an effective organization to monitor offsets, both to ensure

compliance and for an analysis to trigger for renement in the procedures. The sheer

volume of the offsets business triggers the need for an effective monitoring organization. It

is believed that more than INR140 billion offsets, have been signed and more than INR500

billion are in the ofng in the next ve years.

Divided responsibility

The organization we have now can be termed as either divided responsibility or to be more

precise distributed responsibility. Currently, the MoD has constituted an Offset Monitoring

Cell under the DDP for this rather enormous task. It will be interesting to see how the MoD

organized itself to carry out this gigantic task that sets aspirations in the industry, both

domestic and international.

Among the 130 odd countries that have been practicing offsets even before India

implemented them, none have, even in concept, an organization such as DOFA (DefenseOffset Facilitation Agency). The Indian MoD is the rst in the world, to have constituted a

DOFA purely for facilitation and also put the entire DPP openly on a government website.

It is not easy to have access to the Offset Policies of other countries and one has to get the

information from third party sources in conferences and seminars. This is by far, a wonderful

concept, excellent idea but unfortunately not implemented in the best possible manner.

We have the DG (Acquisition) and the entire acquisition wing under him, which is focused

on the acquisition of weapon systems for the Armed Forces and the DOFA under the DDP

(Department of Defence Production) for facilitation of offset proposals and execution. It is

a very good concept, since the DDP is a support organization, which supports the policies

of the MoD by energizing the Indian industry (read DPSUs). Although the charter of the

DDP was DPSUs, it is believed that it has been expanded to include the Indian industry in its

entirety (not yet visible in many echelons of the Indian industry).

Eye on defence | 3


4/32

Such a sound concept when implemented, took shape on ground to translate intothe following:

a. DG (Acquisition) processes the RFP, gets the responses, constitutes the TOEC

(Technical Offset Evaluation Committee), makes evaluations, accords acceptance of

projects and nally signs the contract.

b. DOFA (Defence Offset Facilitation Agency) under the Secretary DP (Defense

Production) expected to facilitate implementation, assist potential vendors, assist in

vetting, assist in monitoring, etc. The list of functions of the DOFA is a long one, which

is hitherto too ambitious and seldom addressed by the organization due to its rather

limited bandwidth.

c. An Offset Monitoring Cell was thereafter created in addition to the above through a

departmental order, in 2008, under Secretary DP. While the DOFA was under JointSecretary (Electronic Systems), the Offset Monitoring Cell was functioning from under

Director S1/S2, in the supplies wing of the DDP, under a different Joint Secretary. Even

within the DDP, the responsibility was further distributed.

d. Then came the provision of Banking of Offset Credits in DPP 2008, which was created

under the Additional Secretary DP, with members from all stake holders, of which

the Chairman DOFA, provided secretarial support, with help from the Offset

Monitoring cell.

As can be seen from above, the responsibility for offsets was divided and the Offset

Monitoring Cell, which probably comprises some ofcials of the supplies wing of DDP, were

on multi-tasking mode (as is the case with others too, including Chairman DOFA), and for

also monitoring offsets in addition to their original tasks. Even within the DDP, the inherentstrength in the creation of DOFA was not sustained and a new organization was created

for monitoring, although it was also to report to Chairperson DOFA. Lack of information

and coordination, are also inherent in such organizations with distributed responsibility,

besides various other drawbacks. While, during the planning process, DDP is involved in

various Services Capital Acquisition Plans (SCAP) committees and the Capital Acquisition

Plan (CAP) section of Directorate of Planning and Coordination has the base knowledge,

the DOFA and offset monitoring cell are mostly withdrawn from this entire process and do

not possess the knowledge, hitherto available at the planning stages. The DOFA and offset

monitoring cell come in at a later stage without the key knowledge of acquisitions programs.

This should not have been a problem if they DOFA were only a facilitation agency. However,

such a process does not facilitate their integration into the whole game of offsets.

In effect, we see that, DOFA, which was incorporated under the DDP as a facilitation agencyalone, also incorporated into its responsibility and charter of duties complete monitoring of

offsets in its functions due to its industry bias. This is also in contrast to the charter of DOFA

spelt out clearly, to assist in monitoring of offset provisions (3.1(d) of Appendix D to DPP

2011); as against completely handling it.

The challenges therefore, are to nd an effective organization for offset monitoring,

adequately staffed and technologically equipped to monitor offset cases, which are set to

increase exponentially.

Basic components of monitoringThe basic components of a monitoring process are broadly similar to those of program

management. Each offset contract, in an acquisition program, is a project and to

manage all such individual projects we need program management. The volumes to be

encountered in this program management are substantial and need a very effective set-

up to manage the same. Program management is about doing projects right. And this is

distinctly different from project management, since, successful projects are delivered on

time and are executed within budget and specication. Successful programs, on the other

hand, deliver long-term improvements to an organization, and the MoD should denitely

be focusing on that. In this case, the term project is complex with different Indian offset

partners executing different eligible products and services.

Therefore, offset monitoring must essentially bring to fore the benets that a programmanagement function will deliver; else this entire function will fail to deliver on the

considerable benets that could potentially accrue to the Indian industry. In less than ve

years of offsets being implemented, contracts worth INR120 billion have been signed and

implementation is in various stages of progress, with little information on how and where

the intended benets have actually accrued. It is not even known, if the individual offset

projects were indeed completed to the total satisfaction of the MoD. This is mainly because

the MoD is yet to put in place an effective monitoring mechanism, barring the Quarterly

Offset Monitoring report that is submitted by the respective OEMs. Some organization

in the supplies wing of the DDP, hitherto unrelated to either the DOFA or the acquisition

process, with a dual tasking cannot be nominated for such a critical function of the

acquisition process. In any case, such an organization cannot do more than a mere book

keeping function, at the highest level of efciency.

Therefore, the essential ingredients in monitoring of offsets programs are following:

a. Monitoring each individual project for which offsets contracts have been concluded for

adherence to the offset schedule.

b. Time and cost over-runs, if any, needs to be monitored.

c. Book-keeping of offsets discharged, to ensure that the quarterly returns and half-yearly

returns are led on schedule by the OEMs and they are in conformation to the contract.

d. A list of foreign OEMs is to be maintained for compliance and to simultaneousl y

generate a list of Indian offset partners (IOPs) who have partnered with OEMs.

e. Concurrently the list is to be updated for fresh contracts awarded and also to generate

a product prole.

Eye on defence | 5


6/32

f. Analysis on such IOPs for display of concurrent product proling and improvements areto be shown.

g. Analysis on the performance of services vs. the manufacturing sector in discharge of

offset ob-ligations, and comparisons of efciencies thereof are to be carried out. This

could present a very good picture of the inter-se performance among various sectors.

h. The acquisition wing will be intimated regarding non-performance of OEMs with

regard to the commitment in discharge of offsets despite reminders, for suitable follow-

up action.

i. Analysis, evaluation and approval of offsets discharge for accord of offset credits, to

be carried out in near-real time. This is not as challenging as it may seem and there

must be minimal delays in this respect. Unfortunately, the MoD faces a lot of ak in

non-performance of this critical function and the OEMs report undue delays in creditingtheir offsets, despite the claims of completing the same. Invariably, MoD does not even

consider it t to respond to the queries or even the reports submitted by the industry.

Since there is no response from the GoI, the OEMs version prevails, for

public consumption.

Structure for monitoring

Monitoring of offsets for implementation is not merely a simplistic job of book keeping or

providing receipts for the mail received in the ofce by the dispatch clerk. There needs to

be lot more thought involved and the structure must ow from the desire to target

achievable goals. The monitoring process must provide food for thought to shape future

policies, provide remedial measures for ongoing projects and manage the program in an

effective manner.

Monitoring must include systems engineering and industrial engineering as major disciplines

besides accounting and analysis. It may be a good idea for the MoD to outsource this

function to the industry associations, who may constitute an independent body, charged to

function under the MoDs supervision and reporting to the MoD, while maintaining corporate

standards in recruitment and functioning. This could follow the model of public private

partnership, on the lines of Aadhar. A dedicated organization must be created for this and

be integrated into the functioning of MoDs capital acquisition process. This is essential to

make sure that the organization is loaded with adequate knowledge and equipped with

the wherewithal to handle unforeseen situations in a more effective manner. Besides other

benets, it will ensure continuity at least at one end.

The stafng for this organization could be both from private, public and government bodies,with suitable incentives. The structure must adhere to the basic tenets of functioning of the

MoD, to maintain condentiality of documents while ensuring, a monitoring function with

adequate transparency to include all facets of program management. The staff must include

system engineering, production engineering, technology understanding and assessment,

database management, IT professionals and be driven by a strategic policy-oriented analyst.

The organization must be able to maintain close liaison with the MoD to include DG

(Acquisition), HQ IDS, Services, MOD (Finance), DRDO and DDP. Suitable integration at

planning stages with MoD is necessary for an understanding of the complete process. While

the aim is to derive benets of program management, it must be remembered that this is

only a monitoring organization and must be mandated to only post-contract monitoring and

for approved programs in offset banking.

Outsourcing of such functions can help the MoD to derive benets of corporate best

practices, enable the best in the industry to be hired for this crucial job and allow the MoD

to concentrate on formulation and renement of policies, evaluation of proposals, their

Eye on defence | 6

interpretation, approvals, while deriving the benets of obtaining a detailed industrialanalysis, outcome evaluations and an independent out of the box input. This body could

also be charged with the responsibility of facilitation, in terms of creating and sustaining a

credible industry data base through which a high level professional advice can be offered to

the OEMs. The credibility of this organization will be high since it will enjoy the backing of

the GoI in howsoever a small manner.

As a starting point, it is suggested that the MoD seriously consider an outsourcing model

for the non-serious, non-policy involved, non-sensitive areas of implementation to credible

industry bodies, through suitable partnerships. This way, the industry will be able to put

in place the best resource for the job and at the same time be able to incorporate the

best practices globally for an effective and efcient monitoring solution. This can be done

through an e-solution incorporating best IT practices as well as handled through serious

book-keeping. An integration of banking practices, technology assessment with activesupport from DRDO, industry policy interpretations with active liaison with Ministry of

Commerce, internal security requirements and their consequent integration through liaison

with Ministry of Home Affairs and similarly for civil aviation through liaison with Ministry

of Civil aviation and STC, licensing norms through interaction with SIA/DIPP etc., will

emerge. The corporate body will have the bandwidth to be able to reach out to the various

stake holders within and outside the GoI, to nd effective and efcient solutions to various

situations. The body could be structured to act within the framework dened by the MoD

with clearly laid down charter for independent action and for action with consultations.

The need of the hour is an effective implementation of the offset provisions incorporating

an efcient monitoring solution.

Electronic fuze: opportunitiesand market potential

A fuze is a device that initiates an explosive function in ammunition, causing it to detonate

or release its contents, when its activation conditions are met. An artillery fuze is used with

a projectile red by guns/howitzers and mortars. The fuze design incorporates the

following mechanisms:

a. Safety mechanism. It provides safety while in storage and transport and initial stage of

ight by keeping the explosives train (detonator and magazine) non- aligned from the

striker.b. Arming mechanism. It arms the fuze at appropriate stage of ight by removing the

safeties.

c. Firing mechanism. It res the fuze on meeting activation conditions.

The safety and arming mechanisms use combination of setback, centrifugal and

rotational forces to arm the fuze once the projectile is red and it is at a safe distance from

the crew.

Classication of fuzes

Fuzes are broadly classied based on operating mechanism as mechanical and electronic

fuzes, though some chemical and optical fuzes are also in existence.

a. Mechanical fuzes

Mechanical fuzes, as the name suggests, have their safety, arming and ring

mechanisms consisting mostly of mechanical components and linkages. Mechanical

fuzes are broadly classied under categories such as Percussion Fuzes, Direct action,

Graze Delay and Time fuzes, depending on their mode of functioning. For example in

Percussion and Direct Action fuzes, the contact sensing (impact) or presetting (Time

mode) is converted directly into mechanical movement of a ring pin, which in turn is

driven either into or against the detonator. The detonator ignites a train of explosives,

eventually ring the main charge of the projectile.

Indian Army has 105 mm, 130 mm and 155 mm Arty Guns, totaling around 2,000.

The fuzes, which are in service are mostly old vintage such as:

Mech Point Impact FZ 117, FZ 119, PDM 572

Tank Fuze B 429 and B-429 E

Time Pyro Delay- FUZE 213 and Time VT-8A

Mortar Fuze 162, DA-4 A, Time Fuze V-19 P

Some of the hardware manufacturers of mechanical fuzes (less explosives

contents) are:

OFB, Ordance Factory Ambajhari

VXL Faridabad

Micron Chandigarh

Sandeep Metal Craft Nagpur

As on date the main source of supply of explosive lled fuzes are Ordnance Factories.

This value addition of around 70% is done by ordnance factories only.

9/32

b. Electronic fuze

In and European and other western countries, electronics are gradually replacing

mechanical sub-systems due to its enhanced reliability, besides making it possible to

incorporate various operating modes into a single multi-purpose design. Electronic

fuzes have many characteristics of mechanical fuzes, though they differ in the method

of fuze initiation. In particular, safety and arming functions are achieved by combining

electronic and mechanical mechanisms whereas the target sensing and ring

functions are achieved by electronic circuits. Main components of an electronic fuze

are as shown in the gure below.

Mechanical fuze Electronic fuze

No target-sensing capability; hence, cannot

function as proximity fuze

Proximity action possible

Can be designed as time fuze but number of

time intervals are limited

Precise time setting with a wide discrete range

Has to be manually set; more prone to

setting errors

Can be programmed and set remotely; minimal

setting errors

Heavy and bulky due to mechanical

components; limited miniaturization possible

Light weight and compact design provides extra

space for explosive

Co mp ara ti ve ly l ess s afe E le ct ro ni c s afe ty c irc ui ts a re va lu e a dd it io ns to

overall safetyIncreases logistics and training requirements Reduced logistics and training requirements

Less Expensive Expensive

Depending upon the target sensing mechanism and electronic circuitry involved, the

electronic fuzes are classied as:

Radio Proximity (PRX) Fuze

Electronic Time (ET) Fuze

Electronic Point Detonation (EPD) Fuze

Universal Fuze(Multi Option Fuze)

Advantages of electronic fuzes over mechanical fuzes are given in the following table.

However, where electro-magnetic environment exists, mechanical fuzes have an edgeover electronic fuzes.

Eye on defence | 9


10/32

c. Multi Option Fuze for Artiller y (MOFA)

In early 1980s electronic fuzes with several functions and options started appearing.

The most modern multi-option artillery fuzes integrates and offers a comprehensive

choice of functions served by delay, super quick, time and proximity fuzes. They can be

operated with all existing and developmental artillery systems (105mm203mm) using

bulk-lled projectiles, such as high-explosive rounds or illuminating rounds and offer

increased accuracy, reliability and performance. Multi option fuzes can be inductively

or manually set. The user has the option to select any/combination of modes according

to requirement.

Some of the major OEMs producing the MOFA are

ATK, the US(M782)

Junghans Microtec, Germany(DM74)

Fucsh Electronics, South Africa(M9801)

RESHEF Technologies, Israel(M175)

Signal Usfa and TNO Physics & Electronics laboratory, the Netherlands (MEDEA)

d. Precision Guided Munitions (PGM)

The re missions to be accomplished by artillery require considerable amount of

artillery pieces, ammunition and time, and are even tted with electronic fuzes.

Reduction of ammunition expenditure and time of mission accomplishment can be

obtained only in case of high-accuracy ring. This has led to development of PGMs to

cater to operational needs and give these weapons a precision-strike capability. The

projectiles are guided on the target using laser/IR/GPS guidance thereby leading toreduced Circular Error Probability (CEP). Other battleeld advantages accruing to a

force commander employing PGMs are the following:

First-round effect

Effective engagement of smaller/eeting targets

Reduced logistics

Minimize collateral damage(counter-insurgency operations)

Major OEMs producing PGK are the following:

ATK USA

Saab Bofors dynamics

Lockheed Martin with Diehl

KBP Instrument Design bureau

BAE Systems with Raytheon Missile Systems

Israel Military Industries

Electronic fuzes: market size

Currently, the Indian Army has artillery guns of various calibers and of different vintage

in its inventory. The Indian 105mm eld gun and its lighter variant for the mountains are

the basic eld guns. The Russian 130mm guns are the backbone of medium artillery, with

the Swedish Bofors 155mm Howitzers, complimenting them. We also have the 120mm

mortars that need an upgrade. The broad gun/mortar equipment inventory is as follows:

Equipment Holding

105mm IFG/LFG 1000+

130mm 500+

155mm 400+

81mm Mortar 4000+

120mm Mortar 480+

Currently, bulk of the fuzes used by the Indian defence services is mechanical fuzes. To

assess the market size we will only consider the requirement of fuzes for the artillery guns

at this stage (155mm, 130mm and 105mm). According to existing scales, the annual

requirement of all variants of mechanical fuzes for training and wastages is estimatedto be approximately 0.5 million. Considering an average price of INR5,000 per fuze this

translates into annual requirement of INR250million. In addition, there is also a requirement

of fuzes to cover the void, which exists between current holdings and authorized scales of

fuzes for operational requirements. Taking a conservative estimate of deciency at 15%, an

additional market for mechanical fuzes stands at 0.75 million amounting to INR375 million.

The focus is now shifting toward electronic fuzes, in view of enhanced performance

and logistics re-quirements. Over a period of time the electronic fuzes will replace the

mechanical fuze being used now. As on date these are being used only for 155 mm guns

and that too is limited to less than 10% of the authorized scale. The usage is now being

extended to 130mm and 105 mm guns. There is an existing deciency of electronic fuzes

worth more than 1 million. Electronic time and proximity fuzes cost more than Point

Detonation fuzes. Taking an average price of INR15,000 per electronic fuze, the existingmarket is capped at around INR1,500 million. The requirement is bound to increase in the

future when the conversion for mortars also takes place. Due to limited source of supply

currently, the time line to meet the immediate requirement of 1 million fuzes is anticipated

to be ve to six years. At this stage it will be difcult to predict the time line for switch over

to the electronic mode. The switch over will also entail reduction in inventory. However, it is

expected that the rate of acquisition will gradually increase by approximately 15%20%

each year.

Multi-functional fuzes for point detonation, proximity and electronic time fuzes will have

applications in Air Defence, Naval and Air platforms as well. Indian Infantry users have also

started realizing the cost effectiveness of using electronic fuzes with mortar ammunition.

Taking into consideration expansion of usage of electronic fuze in these areas (10% initiallyand to be incremented on an yearly basis) the annual market size for electronic fuzes

(mortar, Air Defence, Naval and Air platforms) as of date stands at approximately INR2

billion.

Competition analysis

Electronics Corporation of India Ltd. (ECIL), a public sector undertaking (PSU) under a

tie-up with Fuchs Electronics of South Africa is currently meeting approximately 80% of the

total requirement of electronic fuzes of the Army. The PSU enjoyed virtual monopoly over

a long period, but failed to indigenize the contents. It is unfortunate that despite more than

15 years of tie up, critical subsystems such as safety and arming device (S&A), the battery

and an electronic timer kit are imported from South Africa and assembled in India.

A request for proposal (RFP) for 1 million fuzes, issued by MoD in early 2009, is

currently held up due to objections from the environment and from government vigilance

organizations. The RFP has combined three different kinds of fuze for 105mm, 130mm and

155mm guns. Stipulations such as vendor either supplies all three types, or supplies none,

shuts doors on most companies. It was alleged that the RFP has been drafted in a way that

it eliminates competition. Companies, which responded to the RFP, in different categories

after collaborations for development and manufacture of electronic fuze were the following:

Electronic fuze:105 mm

BEL, with Israel rm Reshef Technologies Ltd.

Micron-Jughans

ECIL-Fucsh

Micron- Jughans

These companies have offered the product for trials. However, the trials have been held

back by the MoD. The above case is likely to be shelved as a fresh proposal for procurement

of 1 million fuzes has been submitted to the MoD. Accordingly a fresh RFI was issued in

June 2011, as a buy global case. The MOD is believed to have received response from the

following vendors:

ECIL- Fucsh

Bharat Forge

Indian Telephone Industries

Micron -Junghans

HBL

BEL-Reshef Technologies

ATK US

Rheinmetall

The Indian Armed Forces are on a major modernization drive. As compared to developed

countries, the Indian Armed Forces possess a considerably lower number of electronic

fuzes/MOFA, PGM devices. Changes in Defence policy will allow private or publicly listed

Indian companies in this sector. Thus, the MOD desires to enhance the indigenous capability

in this segment.

The absence of indigenous capability in the electronic fuzes technology and its variants,

offers market opportunities to establish a JV to ll the void.

Tier-1 vendors now permittedto execute offset obligations

In December 2011, the MoD released an amendment to DPP 2011. It added a paragraph

(1.7) to appendix D, Chapter 1 of the DPP, permitting Tier-1 sub-vendors to discharge

offset obligations to the extent of their workshare (by value) on behalf of the main/prime

vendor. However, the overall responsibility and liability for discharge of offset obligations

will continue to remain with the main/prime vendor. This amendment is applicable with

immediate effect.

The MMRCA RFP was released under DPP2006 and thus, Dassault and Euroghter(NETMA) will not have been able to leverage this amendment. However, a special

dispensation is in the ofng that will enable the two contenders of the MMRCA program to

take advantage of this amendment and offer an enhanced offset discharge program.

For the nascent Indian Defense industry to grow through the route of offsets, it is very

important to realize the fact that a prime vendor generally does not have more than 20%

work share onboard a complete platform and consequently they will discharge only 20%

of the total offset obligation. Thus, there is an increased potential to receive offset work

packages from Tier-1 sub-vendors of the programs under consideration vis-a-vis the prime

vendor. The Indian industry professionals should therefore forge relationships with both

medium and large Tier-1 sub-vendors in order to gain not only offset-related orders but also

to get access to cutting edge technology and best practices.

As a rst attempt, Ernst & Young will try to highlight the Tier-1 sub vendors of certain large

ticket capital acquisition programs that have already been signed or are expected to be

signed in the near future.

In the gure on the following page, the design of the C-130J Hercules transport aircraft,

manufactured by Lockheed Martin (Prime vendor) is depicted. India has already purchased

six such aircraft and talks are in advanced stages to procure six more. We would like to

extend our sincere gratitude to Lockheed Martin India for sharing this information with us.

submarines has been delayed and the actual

contract is now likely to be inked only by

201415. The P-75 I boats are expected to

be received only after 2020 since it takes

six to seven years to build an advanced

submarine. This happened because of the

inability to decide on the shipyards, which

will be executing the project. Originally three

of the submarines were to be constructed

at Mazagon Docks (MDL) in Mumbai, and

another came up at the Hindustan Shipyard

in Visakhapatnam. The other two were

to be either imported from the foreign

collaborator or built by a domestic private

shipyard.

Indian Navy to double orders for

P-8I maritime reconnaissance

aircraft

The Indian Navy will induct 24 Boeing

P-8I long-range maritime reconnaissance

aircraft, which will boost its surveillance and

attack capabilities over Indias territorial

waters. The Indian Navy placed orders

for 12 additional aircraft over and above

the 12 already on order bringing the total

to 24. The P8-I is capable of broad-area

surveillance and anti-ship, submarine and

land attack operations and is equipped

with Harpoon missiles, depth charges and

torpedoes. The aircraft will be equipped

with some Indian components because of

the industrial offset requirements. Bharat

Electronics Ltd. is already supplying the

Data Link II system to facilitate P-8Is

communications with the Indian space,

naval, and land-based assets.
