Security Guidelines for Construction Activity Near Navy and Air Force Establishments
Restrictions on building constructions around defence installations are regulated under various Statutes and Rules / Notifications issued there under, which include the Works of defence Act, 1903, The Cantonments Act, 2006, The Aircraft Act, 1934, Ministry of Civil Aviation, 1934 Gazette Notification SO 84 (E) dated 14.01.2011 (as revised from time to time). However, all the sensitive defence installations have not been notified yet for imposition of restriction under Statutory Acts / Rules / Notifications.
In order to regulate building constructions around defence installations not covered by such notifications, Ministry of defence issued interim guidelines on 18.05.2011 for issue of No Objection Certificate (NoC) for construction activities within 500 meters of such installations. The guidelines dated 18.05.2011 have been amended from time to time. The last amendment to the NoC guidelines was issued on 21.10.2016 on the basis of review of security concerns of the defence establishments vis-a-vis public inconvenience wherein security restrictions in respect of 193 Army establishments have been reduced to 10 meters. The amendment dated 21.10.2016 further provides that for 149 Army establishments located in Jammu & Kashmir, no construction shall be permissible within 50 meters from Defence installations and for construction between 50-100 meters, NoC shall be required.

New Organisation for Undertaking Defence Procurement
Ministry of Defence constituted a Committee in April, 2016 comprising experts from various fields to study the setting up of a Defence Procurement Organisation.
The Committee submitted its Report in February 2017. The Committee has recommended the creation of a central, autonomous, empowered professional organization to build up indigenous defence capability as a strategic imperative for long term self-reliance.
Several measures have been taken in this regard which include:
• Reducing broad timeframe for completing procurement activities,
• Reduction of validity for Acceptance of Necessity to 6 months for ‘Buy’ cases and to one year for ‘Buy and Make (Indian) cases’,
• Incorporation of guidelines for change of name of vendor in Defence Procurement Procedure-2016 and notification of complaint handling guidelines,
• Processing of single vendor cases with due justification, instead of automatic retraction,
• Provision of Field Evaluation Trials in conditions where equipment is most likely to be deployed,
• Increased use of certification and simulations in technical evaluation of equipment.
• Enhancement of aim of Fast Track Procedure to cover urgent operational requirements,
• Elaboration of Request for Information process as the first step of acquisition process and defining the objectives clearly,
• Provision for bringing cases with ‘Acceptance of Necessity’ value of more than 150 crore directly before Services Capital Acquisition Categorisation Higher Committee by eliminating one level.
