India best place for def manufacturing: PM NEW DELHI, AUG 27 (PTI): Wooing foreign players to join his push for defence manufacturing in India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday that producing defence equipment in the country is the best option for them considering the big size of its market and underscored his government’s commitment to creating a robust ecosystem for all manufacturers. Addressing a seminar on ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ in defence manufacturing, Modi said his government has ushered in a “win-win” situation for all players, from public sector to private and foreign manufacturers, and asserted that the concept of a self-reliant India is not “inward-looking”. The goal of this mission is to make India work towards larger global peace, and also to help the world economy become more resilient and stable, he said. The defence sector having self confidence is necessary for making a modern and self-reliant India, the prime minister said, asserting that a new mindset has emerged on his government’s watch.

“India has the potential to become a dependable supplier of defence equipment to many friendly countries. This will further deepen India’s strategic partnership and boost its role of being a net security provider in the Indian Ocean region,” Modi said. Asserting that the recent announcement of an import embargo on 101 defence equipment is not merely confined to curbing imports but also aimed at giving a boost to the domestic industry, he said more items will be added to this list later. His government’s efforts are aimed at developing technology in India
and expanding the private sector’s role in this sector to the most, Modi said. He said his government has opened the way for 74 per cent FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in defence production through automatic route. This is an outcome of the self confidence of a new India, he added. Modi noted that India has long been one of the biggest defence importers in the world and rued that enough attention was not paid to augmenting domestic production in the past despite the country having inherited a capable ecosystem of over 100 years old at the time of Independence.
Very few nations had India’s abilities and potential and many countries which started (defence manufacturing) later than India have gone far ahead in the last 50 years, the prime minister said. Referring to a number of economic reforms since his government first came to power in 2014, he also mentioned the recent labour reforms in a number of states. The reform exercise is not going to stop, he said. The work on building defence corridor is also on at a rapid pace in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, he said, while adding that Rs 20,000 crore investment would be made for this in the next five years and a state of the art infrastructure will be developed. To boost domestic manufacturing, licensing process has been reformed, level-playing field created, export system simplified and offset provisions reformed, he said. The focus is now on having a “co-production model” by going for joint ventures with foreign partners, the prime minister said.
“Considering India’s market size, the best option for our foreign partners is to manufacture in India,” he said. The gover nment is speeding up the procurement process, and the size of domestic industry is set to increase in coming days, he said. Technological upgradation is necessary for developing self-reliance, he said, adding that research is being encouraged in the government-run DRDO, private sector and also academic institutions. India’s ordnance industry is being corporatised which will be a boost to its workers and also security forces, Modi said. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and three service chiefs also attended the seminar, and the prime minister lauded the “tireless” efforts of his Cabinet colleague who, he added, has been working in a “mission mode” to make the exercise successful. Modi said his government has from the beginning worked with the mantra of “reform, perform and transform” and to remove red-tape and roll out red carpet for industry.

India working to announce new Air Defence Command by Oct NEW DELHI, AUG 27 (AGENCIES): Amid the ongoing tensions with China, the Department of Military Affairs has hastened the process of restructuring the armed forces, as a new air defence command under the IAF may be set up at Prayagraj, around the second week of October this year. “The work has been hastened to prepare the structure of the command under an Air Force officer. Efforts are being made to put everything together and announce the creation of the air defence command at Prayagraj around the Air Force Day on October 8 this year,” government sources told ANI. The air defence command is proposed to be set up alongside the Central Command Headquarters of the IAF which controls important air bases including Agra, Gwalior and Bareilly. The aim of the command is to combine the resources of the three services under one command and activate it to protect the air space of the country. A study in this re-

gard was done by the IAF’s Vice Chief Air Marshal HS Arora which also made suggestions for the structure of the proposed command, comprising assets of all the three services. The Department of Military Affairs under CDS General Bipin Rawat has been given the mandate to create joint military commands along with theatre commands. The CDS is also working on the creation of the combined maritime command which would come up either at Kochi in Kerala or Karwar in Karnataka. Each service has its individual air defence set-up. The air defence command would integrate the air de-
fence assets of the Army, Air Force and Navy and jointly provide air defence cover to the country. The CDS has also made it clear to the armed forces that he would not create any additional post at a three-star level for manning any of the new commands and the new formations would be raised from the existing resources only. Meanwhile, for protecting the air space of the country, a proposal for the acquisition of two new PHALCON Airborne Early Warning ad Control Systems from Israel and Russia has reached the Cabinet Committee on Security and may be taken up for clearance soon.
