Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has a negative list of countries for defence export and views of MEA are taken into account before granting No Objection (NOC) for export to such countries.


The Companies getting export orders apply to the Department of Defence Production (DDP) for NOC for export and the same is issued as per the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), which has also been put in public domain. The Government has taken several steps to encourage defence exports. Some of the major initiatives are as below:-


· Formulation of a Defence Export Strategy outlining the policy and procedural initiatives to be taken by the Government.


· Constitution of a Defence Export Steering Committee (DESC) to deliberate and decide policy and procedural issues related to defence exports.


· The SOP for issue of NOC for export has been simplified and streamlined and has been put in the public domain to make the process transparent and unambiguous.


· The processing of receiving the applications for NOC for export and the process for issuing NOC have been made online.


This information was given by Minister of State for Defence Rao Inderjit Singh in a written reply to Shri K.R.P. Prabakaran and Shri Pralhad Joshi in Lok Sabha today.

Maal kitna banya ?

We are weapons exporting nation.

Rear Admiral (Retd.) Mishra said that he was optimistic that the Indian Navy would place another order for a second refit by the HSL. The shipyard had experience of refitting two Egyptian submarines during the 1970s. Though much of that experience could not be salvaged, the systems for refit of submarines that were put in place at that time were still functional and they were put to good use.

Export of arms and ammunition

The Government does not directly export arms, ammunitions and weaponry systems to any country. As per DGFT Notification No. 115 (RE-2013)/2009-2014 dated 13th March, 2015, Department of Defence Production (DDP) issues ‘No Objection Certificate’ (NOC) for export of goods, which are in the nature of military stores.

Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) earlier sought the advice of DDP on the export of DRDO’s designed and developed products, which have been manufactured by various companies in India. The requisite advice has been intimated to DRDO regarding the procedure for issuing NOC by DDP to concerned companies for such exports.

The Government has not carried out any comparative cost study of weapon exporting countries.

Defence exports in the coming years will be driven by mostly the private firms, more than half of it is coming from these firms already. Even smallers firms are going out their way, it's up to the Indian government to nurture this. Their portfolio will continue to grow. Now with giants like TATA, Reliance, L&T, Mahindra among several others you can expect exports of bigger systems like artillery systems, IFVs, eventually tanks. Smaller firms like the Tonbo imagings, VEM tech, etc. will supply their sub systems.

Get away from this Nehruvian thought of not exporting any sort of arms. Let these private firms, almost, free rein to export.

Recent exports from smaller firms.


Tonbo Imaging to provide night vision to Peruvian Army

Zen Technologies bags Rs 30 crore defence order from Egypt

MKU Selected by Republic of Ecuador for Providing Body Armour to its Police Force

 

[Water Car Engineer]

Even with TATA's, current, limited portfolio they're thinking exports. Currently mostly exports of their defence variants of their civilian products.

Now that DRDO and outside firms have free rein to choose it's Indian production partner(s), we're seeing private firm production agencies pop up.

DRDO ATAGS, Bharat Forge as main PA, TATA SED, and Mahindra involved as well

TATA's FICV, General Dynamics and Indian Bharat Forge are their partners. L&T, Reliance, among others will throw their designs to the tender.

TATA Motors, DRDO for the Wheeled IFV requirement

TATA, Mahindra LAMV -- Reliance, etc. running

Reliance, TATA, Mahindra, L&T, etc. all have ambitions for the T90 replacement as well.


So a lot of these firms will pitch their designs outside India as well.
