Ministry of Defence        03-May, 2016 13:30 IST

Capital procurement of defence equipments is carried out as per provisions of Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP) and is guided by the time lines for various stages of procurement given therein. Mismatches between requirement and availability can sometimes occur which are continually addressed by the on-going procurement process.

The New DPP-2016 which has come into effect from 1st April, 2016 envisages faster completion of the procurement process. The measures, inter-alia, include the provision for change of name of Vendor / Entity; reduction of validity of Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) from one year to six month for "Buy" cases and from two years to one year for "Buy & Make (Indian)", provision that Field Evaluation Trials (FET) will be conducted by the User only pertaining to conditions where the equipment is most likely to be deployed and notification of guidelines for handling of complaints.

Government attaches high priority to ensuring that the Armed Forces are adequately equipped and operationally prepared to deal with the entire spectrum of security challenges facing the country
