Recent Defence Procurement in India
In recent times, India has accelerated the domestic and foreign purchase of
weapons in the wake of a border clash with Chinese troops and to fortify India’s borders
against rise in infiltration cases from Pakistan. India spends billions in the defence
sector to strengthen its Armed Forces and to safeguard its territory. Indian Army as we
know is the world's largest Standing army in the world with strength of around 1.4
million. India is also one of the world's largest importers of arms and ammunition.
In the year 2019, the Government finalised a road map to spend $130 billion to
modernise the Armed Forces and bolster capabilities to effectively counter the
challenges from its neighbouring countries like Pakistan and China. The plan includes
acquisition of a wide variety of arms and armament that includes missiles, warships,
drones, fighter jets, surveillance equipment and creation of architecture for Artificial
Intelligence. The Indian Army undertakes its ongoing modernisation at a consistent
pace. The Indian Army has undertaken in the preceding year efforts to restructure and
optimise its manpower for greater finances to be made available for procurement.
Recent India and US Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement for Geo-
spatial Cooperation (BECA) deal on 27 October, 2020 in Delhi shows that the Indian
Government has always been keen on digitising military applications. Broadly, there are
four important aspects in the field of Battle field digitisation, which in military parlance is
termed as Network Centric Warfare. These are Information Sharing, Improved Situation
Awareness, Speed of Command and Enhanced Mission Effectiveness. This is
characterised by the aspects of Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Target Acquisition.
The Indian Army this has been taking necessary steps towards the process of
digitization.
On 12 May, 2020, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has given call for a
self-reliant India based on the five pillars, i.e., Economy, Infrastructure, System,
Demography & Demand and announced a special economic package for Self-Reliant
India named ‘Atamnirbhar Bharat’. Following our Hon’ble Prime Minister’s call for “Vocal
2Reference Branch
for Local” and launch of Atma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan (Self-Reliant India Campaign),
the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has pulled out its capital acquisition manual to promote
greater self-reliance in defence production.
On 8 August, 2020, our Defence Minister urged for giving a big push to the
"Atma Nirbhar Bharat" initiative and for introducing import embargo on 101 items
(Annexure-I) beyond the given timeline to boost indigenization of defence production. The
embargo on imports was planned to be progressively implemented from 2020 to 2024
and giving a great step on making India Aatmnirbhar (self-reliant). In order to provide
impetus to self-reliance in defence manufacturing, multiple announcements were made
under ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat Package’. In implementing such framework and to position
India amongst the leading countries of the world in defence and aerospace sectors, the
Ministry of Defence (MoD) has formulated a draft Defence Production and Export
Promotion Policy 2020 (DPEPP 2020). The DPEPP 2020 is envisaged as an
overarching guiding document of MoD to provide a focussed, structured and significant
thrust to defence production capabilities of the country for self-reliance and exports.
The policy has laid out following goals and objectives:
1. To achieve a turnover of Rs 1,75,000 Crores (US$ 25Bn), including export of Rs
35,000 Crore (US$ 5 Billion) in Aerospace and Defence goods and services by
2025.
2. To develop a dynamic, robust and competitive Defence industry, including
Aerospace and Naval Shipbuilding industry to cater to the needs of Armed forces
with quality products.
3. To reduce dependence on imports and take forward "Make in India" initiatives
through domestic design and development.
4. To promote export of defence products and become part of the global defence
value chains.
5. To create an environment that encourages R&D, rewards innovation, creates
Indian IP ownership and promotes a robust and self-reliant defence industry.

India’s Defence deals with various Countries during last three years:
(A) Defence deals with USA
(i) India, US to ink pact for geospatial intelligence: Recently, India and US ink
Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement for Geospatial Cooperation (BECA)
their fourth and final foundational military pact (BECA) during the “two-plus-two”
dialogue on 27 October, 2020 in Delhi. Through this deal, the access to high
quality geo-spatial data will become possible.
India and USA are also set to sign the Maritime Information Sharing
Technical Arrangement (MISTA) to enhance cooperation between their navies.
The inking of BECA for exchange of highly-classified geo-spatial intelligence,
without the risk of its being compromised, was officially announced after our
Defence Minister conducted a delegation-level meeting with his US counterpart.
(ii) India-US Apache Contract: India and the US have signed $930 million
agreement for 6 Apache Helicopters for Indian Army. The contract was made in
the year 2015 by the Indian Air Force for 22 Apache helicopters. Out of 22
helicopters, 17 have already been delivered to India and the rest will be delivered
in the year 2023.
The Apache helicopters have advanced digital connectivity, joint tactical
information distribution system, more powerful T700-GE-701D engines with
upgraded face gear transmission to accommodate more power, the capability to
control unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and new composite main rotor blade.
6Reference Branch
(iii) MH-60 Romeo Helicopters Deal: In 2018, India gave a nod to the Indian Navy
to pursue the acquisition of 24 Sikorsky MH-60R helicopters. The contract was
sealed in February 2020, during President Trump's visit to India.
The $2.6 billion deal between India and the US includes helicopter,
communication systems, weapons systems, eight anti-surface Hellfire Missiles
which can be used to hit at ships, MK 54 Lightweight Torpedoes, 50 cannons and
precision rocket systems.
MH-60 helicopters are manufactured by Lockheed Martin's Sikorsky
Aircraft and will be procured by India via Government-to-Government route. The
said helicopter is US Navy's primary anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare
helicopter. It is capable enough to do search, rescue and supply missions. These
helicopters will replace Sea King anti-submarine warfare helicopters of the Indian
Navy.
(iv) India-US Guardian Drones Deal: The US and the Indian Government signed a
$ 2-3 billion deal for the Guardian drones in 2018. The US Government has
cleared the sale of 22 predator Guardian drones to India. The drones are
manufactured by General Atomics.
The Guardian drone can be used for wide-area, long-endurance maritime
intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. It can stay put for 27
hours in the air and can fly at 50,000 feet. The Indian Navy made the request for
ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) in 2017.
(v) India-US Defence Deal of Naval Guns: In November, 2019 a deal of $1.0210
billion with the US was sealed to obtain 13 MK45 Naval guns and related
equipment. The MK-45 Gun System will help India to conduct anti-surface
warfare and anti-air defence missions.
The sale approval was in response to a Government of India request to
buy the guns and 3,500 D349 Projectile, 5”/54 MK 92 MOD 1 Ammunition. The
proposed sale will include ammunition, spare parts, training of personnel and
equipment, technical data, publications, technical and logistical assistance and
7Reference Branch
transport.
(vi) Chinook CH-47F (I) :15 Chinook, a multi-role, vertical-lift platform, which is used
for the transport of troops, artillery, equipment and fuel, is inducted in Indian Air
Force on May 27, 2020.The Chinooks will have the capability to airlift the M777
lightweight howitzers that the Indian Army is buying. This means that these
artillery guns can be taken from one position to another using the helicopter,
even if it is inhospitable terrain.
In September 2015, a deal worth $3 billion which included 22 Boeing AH-
64E Apache Longbow attack Helicopters and 15 Chinook heavy-lift machines
were signed and it has an inbuilt clause for follow-on orders for 11 more
Apaches and seven Chinooks. The contract for the Chinook helicopters was for
$1.1 billion.
(vii) Apache AH-64 E: The first Apache attack helicopter, India’s first pure
attack helicopter, was delivered in March, 2020. Considered to be one of the
most deadly attack helicopters in the world, Boeing has sold over 2,200 of these
machines since 1984.The Apache comes with 30-mm cannon under the nose
that can fire 1,200 rounds in less than two minutes. It is also equipped with 70-
mm rockets that can be guided or unguided. The Apache can carry 80 of them in
one go besides the Hellfire missiles. The deal was signed between India and the
United States on 25th February, 2020. The Apache deal follows an earlier
purchase in September 2015 of 22 AH-64Es allocated to the Indian Air Force.
A joint venture between Boeing and Tata Advanced Systems Ltd. (TASL)
— Tata Boeing Aerospace Limited (TBAL) was established in 2016 where has
been manufacturing fuselages for all the six AH-64 Apache in Hyderabad.
(B) Defence deals with Russia
(i) During DefExpo 2020 in Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) from 5th to 9th February
202,India and Russia signed 14 MoUs (Memorandums of Understanding). The
MoUs consist of development and production of land, air and naval systems and
8Reference Branch
hi-tech civilian products. This set the defence deals between India and Russia to
cross $16 billion.
Russia is committed to implementing a contract within the promised time
frame. This includes the supply of S-400 air defence systems and the production
of Kalashnikov rifles and Kamov helicopters. Rosoboronexport, Russia's state-
run organization,has signed deals with DRDO for advanced pyrotechnic ignition
systems, HAL, for the export of spares and services to allies, and BHEL for land
systems.
Another deal was signed between Russian Helicopters and Indo-Russian
Helicopters Ltd to localise the components used in Kamov Ka-226 helicopters.
India is planning to purchase 200 Ka-226 helicopters.
India has already made the payment of the first tranche in 2019 for five
S-400 systems. The deal is approximately $5.4 billion.
(ii) India-Russia air-to-air Missiles Deal: The Government of India has signed Rs
1,500 crore deal with Russia in July, 2019 to procure R-27 air-to-air missiles
to be equipped on the Su-30MKI combat aircraft. This deal will boost India's
capabilities beyond visual range warfare.
(C) India-Israel Defence Pact: In March, 2020, the Government of India has
signed Rs 880 crore deal with the Israel Weapons Industries (IWI) to procure
16,479 Negev 7.62x51 mm light machine guns (gas-operated) for the Indian
Armed Forces.
(D) Fleet Vessel Ship Agreement with Turky
In October 2019, India put the FVS (Fleet Vessel Ship) Agreement on hold after
questions were raised on Turkey’s links with Pakistan and the recent diplomatic tiff
with the Recep Tayyip Erdogan Government. Turkish shipyards are major suppliers
of warships to the Navy of Pakistan. This raised serious security concerns as the
Turkish company was to manufacture ships at HSL. However, in February 2020, the
Government of India has given a nod to go ahead with the $2.3 billion deal after
reviewing the concerns as mentioned above.
9Reference Branch
Under this agreement, the Turkish company will manufacture 5 Fleet Vessel Ship
of 45,000 tonnes at HSL (Hindustan Shipyard Limited), Vishakhapatnam. These
ships will be used by the Indian Navy to carry fuel and other supplies to refuel its
warships at sea.
(E) India's Defence Deal with Armenia
On March 1, 2020, India signed a $ 40 million deal with Armenia, Europe to
supply 4 SWATHI weapon locating radars. The radars are capable of locating
weapons and are developed by DRDO (Defence Research and Development
Organisation) and manufactured by BEL (Bharat Electronics Limited).
This deal will strengthen the 'Make in India' initiative by the Government of India
and will brace the Indian Defence System.
(F) Defence deal with France
India ordered 36 Rafale jets from France in a deal worth Rs 59,000 crore in
September 2016 as an emergency purchase to arrest the worrying slide in the IAF’s
combat capabilities.
The five Rafale fighter jets which landed in Ambala on 29th July, 2020 would
resurrect the Number 17 Golden Arrows squadron of the Indian Air Force. It will take
the IAF’s squadron strength to 31. When all the 36 Rafale jets are delivered by 2022,
it will take it to 32 squadrons.
The state-of-the-art 4.5 Generation Rafale jet can reach almost double the speed
of sound, with a top speed of 1.8 Mach. With its multi-role capabilities, including
electronic warfare, air defence, ground support and in-depth strikes, the Rafale lends
air superiority to the Indian Air Force.

Conclusion:
Indian soldiers are one of the finest in the world and it is the armament and
logistics resources that make them superior. Though traditionally Indian Defence forces
mainly relied on import of defence equipments, of late, “Atma Nirbhar” (Self-reliance) in
defence manufacturing has become a crucial component of effective defence capability
and to maintain national sovereignty and achieve military superiority. The attainment of
this objective will ensure strategic independence, cost-effective defence equipment and
may lead to saving on defence import bill, which can subsequently finance the physical
and social infrastructure.
High Technology aspects concern Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Nano
Technology, Lethal Automatic Weapon Systems Directed Energy Weapons, Nuclear,
Biological and Chemical Warfare. Research in all these fields are moving at a steady
pace. Artificial Intelligence and Robotics are in a nascent stage of development. Rapid
strides are needed to be taken in the field of Nano technology as it would lead to
reduction of size and weight which would be suitable for our High Altitude and Glaciated
regions. Direct energy weapons are being developed by China and there is a need to
expedite their development. We need to build up our credible deterrence in the field of
Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Warfare.
Threats from China and Pakistan leave us with no option but to undertake
modernisation at a fast pace. The Indian Army is currently involved in meeting
challenges at the Line of Control (LoC) and Line of Actual Control (LAC). All out efforts
must be made by all concerned to expedite modernization of defence procurement,
optimising the process initiated by the Government.
