The document summarizes India's defence industry. It notes that a nation's military strength depends on its economic might, and industry provides the military with resources to fight wars. It then discusses India opening up its economy in the 1990s which led to growth in the defence sector. Currently, only 15% of India's military equipment is state-of-the-art while 50% is obsolete. The document outlines India's defence organizations and production, including 39 ordnance factories and 8 public sector units. It provides statistics on production, sales, spending and highlights recent achievements in missile development while also noting roadblocks like a lack of industrial policy and restrictions.

1. DEFENCE INDUSTRY IN INDIA
By:
Sarvesh Mishra

2. A NATION’S MILITARY STRENGTH IS
DETERMINED BY ITS ECONOMIC
MIGHT
INDUSTRY PROVIDES THE MILITARY
WITH THE WHEREWITHAL TO FIGHT
THE NATION’S WARS.

3. DEFENCE : ROLLING THE STONE !
 The opening up of the Indian economy during the early nineties
heralded an era of unprecedented industrial growth in India
 Huge opportunities for growth within the domestic and global
defence and aerospace industries have attracted the attention
of Indian industry
 The current profile of equipment held by the Indian Armed Forces
with regards to ‘State of the Art’, ‘Matured’ and ‘Obsolescent’
equipment is 15, 35 and 50 percent respectively

4. OVERVIEW
 The country’s defence services include three armed forces and
other departments
 Defence Research and development organization
 Defence ordinance factories
 Defence public sector Units

5. Defence Production
 Defence Public Sector Units (DPSUs) plays an integral part in defence
production
 India has 39 Ordnance Factories and 8 DPSUs
 DPSUs account more than 65% of the total industrial output
 Value of production is US$ 3.9 billion
Highlights of budget and expenditure
 Allocation increased to 495.2 Billion rupees
 R&D allocation raised to 46.80 Billion rupees
 Running expenditure increased by 3.8%

6. Global Spending on Defence
 Expected to remain Flat or decline
 Decline in spending by US and rest of Europe
 Compensated by China, India, Saudi Arabia, Japan and Brazil

7. Ordnance Factories Organization
Indian Ordnance Factories trace their history to 1801, when the first factory to produce guns was
established at Cossipore, Kolkata
Today, the organization consists of 39 factories and two projects, coming up at Nalanda in Bihar and
Korwa in U.P
The turnover during the financial year 2011-12 was Rs 12,391 crore
The projected turnover for 2012-13 is Rs 12,935 crore
The turnover has shown steady growth during the last five years
The major investment plans during the 12th Plan period are:
(a) Augmentation of capacity for production of Tank T-90
(b) Creation of capacity for production of variants of tank T-72
(c) Augmentation of capacity for ICV BMP-II and its variants
(d) Augmentation of capacity for Engines of Armoured vehicles
(e) Nalanda and Korwa project
(f) Augmentation of capacity for Pinaka Rocket
(g) Creation of capacity for production of 155 mm Howitzer
(h) HMX and Ammonium per-chlorate plant
(i) Booster and Sustainer for Akash missile
(j) Creation of capacity for production of Track Link Assembly for
armoured vehicles

8. India has established eight Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs) whose responsibility is to
provide the Armed Forces state-of-the-art equipment's and at the same time enhance country's
self-reliance in defence production

VALUE OF PRODUCTION AND SALES OF DEFENCE PSUs

9. Defence Public Sector Undertakings
Undertakings have not been able to arms the
defence forces, resulting in huge arms imports, to the tune of over US $ 5-6 billion per year
Though the volume of production by DPSUs has increased over the years, the value addition by them
has progressively decreased
Most of DPSUs are over-dependent on external sources for raw material, components and spare
parts, and capital goods for the production requirements
The export performance of DPSUs taken together is below the three per cent of
total value of production or total value of sales

15. RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS
 Agni, the 3500 kms range ballistic missile was successfully launched with user participation
 Successful flight test of Endo atmospheric Interceptors for 2000 kms class target were carried out
 Capabilities of NAG, the third generation anti tank missile, which is a vehicle mounted system was
demonstrated
 Advanced versions of BrahMos supersonic cruise missile, were developed and flight tested
Major procurement contracts for India:-
 Navy impending contract for project 17A frigates that will be built by MDL and GRSE
 Supply of 145 ultra light howitzers by BAE system (USA) worth 647 million dollars
 Supply of 6 Lockheed Martin C-130 J ‘Super Hercules’ aircraft for Indian special forces worth 1 billion
dollars

16. ROADBLOCKS
 Lack of a coherent industrialization policy
Lack of domestic capability to cater to demands from global primes
 Taxation issues
Restriction on foreign investment (FDI) only 26% as of now
 Restrictions of dual use technologies
 Inadequate trained manpower
Opportunity in Indian defense industry
 Strong focus on IT, High-tech engineering and research and design capabilities
IT infrastructure and manufacturing potential to be one of the key global sourcing
definitions
