WASHINGTON: India is open to 100 per cent foreign direct investment (FDI) in defence if firms are willing to provide full technology transfer, a top Indian defence official has said as India and the US are set to enter a critical phase of co-development and co-production.

India's Secretary of Defence Production, Ashok Gupta, said this during an interaction with US corporate sector here last week that was organised by US India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) and attended among others by representatives from Boeing, Lockheed Martin, BAE systems, Honeywell and AECOM.

Sharing the contours of the US-India defence partnership, Gupta said, "The government of India would be open to consider 100 per cent FDI in defence, should the company be willing to provide full technology transfer," according to a media release issued by USISPF.

During the discussion, representatives of industry raised concerns, such as trade-offs between the L1 model (lowest price) versus technology transfer and, overall best value and the capability that India was looking to buy and develop.

Executives from the US defence industry also complimented India on the progress that has been made under the 'Make in India' campaign, the statement said.

Mukesh Aghi, president of USISPF, spoke about the importance of dialogues where both sides can have a frank exchange, adding that, "collaboration between India and the US on defence and technology transfer are critical."

In his presentation, Gupta outlined the criteria by which US original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can participate in the Indian defence market.

He also discussed the standards that the government will use for the selection of the OEMs. In addition, he spoke about the role that Indian public sector units (PSUs) in the defense industry will play in the 'Make in India' programme.

I reiterate:

India will always be in a "Ketchup" mode if not mustard, if you know what the hot dog (parlance) is all about:

The US is not going to share its critical technology with India, so is Russia - it is their bread & butter for constant and never ending export business to stupid India which spends measly 0.85% towards its R&D as a percentage of its GDP - and they have identified this Achilles heels of India to fleece it for the future & survival of their own defense industries.

India will always be at the mercy of these advanced nations, those who will always dictate their terms with India and fleece it.

India will always be at their (US & Russia) doormat/doorstep for defense purchases, begging for newer & advanced technology, and as if this is not enough, let me tell you guys, these advanced nations treat India as a doormat - always walk over it (treating India as an inconsequential nation).

India has no future with 0.85 R&D that Modi is spending as a percentage of India's GDP.

Modi = Ruling by fooling.

This 10th grade pass Modi is taking India for a ride, something that even he does not know.
This Machiavellian Modi is out to sell India for a song:

India has no real future, no social life for its billion plus citizens - if Modi like PMs are its rulers.

Remember, 69% or 2/3rd majority of Indians did not vote for this democratic dictator. Period.

Who wouldn't being 'open' too 100% ToTs? If you are willing to sell me all the trade secrets that you possess, why wouldn't i be interested?

A proper title would be something along the lines of 'Country X is open to 100 per cent foreign direct investment (FDI) in India- for the right price'

In other words, the willingness to '100% transfer' lies in the selling party- and not the buying/obtaining one.

This article is insinuating that India has a choice to obtain 100% ToTs- at its pleasure.

Thus, the article is already awkward and ludicrous by itself.

Are bevakoof, jab bhi kahin pe bhi election hoti hai jahan two party system nahi hai.. Wahan yeh percentage sabse highest hai.. In the world. Daffor.. Yar tu to itna bada dhakkan hi ki tere ko kabhi reply karne man bhi nhi karta. Bcoz ek purani kahavat hai ki jo andha ho use aap jo marzi kar lo, usse kuch bhi dikha nahi sakte. Aur lagta hai tera bhi upar ka mala khatam ho gaya hi..

How about Scorpene class Subs, Mig-21, Barak-8 missile. Aircraft carriers with Russian ToT. Don't blabber stuffs you don't know.

 

[SingaporeGuy]

How long will this begging continue?

Its like the entire india's scientists are crippled and paralysed.

India has more than 50,000 universities and research institutions but the best aircraft they can come up with is LCA Tejas which is based on dassault mirage III 1954

If you are stupid enough to call it full tech transfer than I cant be happeir

Lol!! Ok we are getting them anyway. With sophisticated tech. Although it's not a full tech transfer.

Tavor 21 and Galil assault rifles are a full tech transfer from Israel.

You would be surprised and happier at the end result. Good luck with the Chinese though.
