The Hindu
As long as there is no research and development involved, says official
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) will try and complete acquisition of any defence equipment in two years, from the current average of 3.5 years, as long as there is no research and development involved, Additional Secretary and Director General Acquisition in the Ministry V.L. Kantha Rao said on Tuesday.
“Our average is about 3.5 years and to bring it to two years takes a lot of changes in the procedures,” Mr. Rao noted at the Annual Session of the Society of Indian Defence Manufacturers. For this, time lines for various steps like Acceptance of Necessity (AoN), trial methodology and benchmarking of price of equipment were being advanced.
