Yes, these idiots can give the orders to foreign private sector but not Indian private sector!
But things seem to be changing for the better. Slowly.
Private development needed in following sectors:
Few things we need from future development
Let DRDO compete with private sector for FMBT power pack
Private Players should be given Smerch class MRBL project (TATA's)
Open the market for Small Arms to private sector
IAC1, 2 and 3 propulsion has to be Desi
Marine Engines should be concentrated on ... Let Cummins and KEL fight it out
Let KPCL get involved for Arihant class Air systems
Create competition for Bharat Dynamics
Let Rafael have Joint projects with Indian private sector
Encorage Automotive players to come into Combat engineering
Open Nuclear Markets to Reliance/ Tata/NTPC
An significant observation is Indian government does not let its own PSU's compete with each other. Give HAL a freehand to engage Bharat dynamics and OFB.. HAL has worked with GSH 301 shipunavs/R77/R23'Defa 30mms/ Matra/etc . They have ample knowledge of these systems. If they can engineer side projects for competing in the army and Navy, let them. Also Let PSU companies NTPC and SAIL Diversify into Defence markets. Competition will get the best out of these PSU's sector giants
