Akash missiles in Ladakh, OFS have taken Bharat Dynamics to new highs. Awaited: ‘atmanirbhar’ push.
In March 2018, Bharat Dynamics got listed below the offer price of INR428. But its fortunes have changed in the last few months. On July 7, it touched an all-time high of INR455. Its three-month returns were at 88% at Mondays closing. Will Bharat Dynamics be able to keep up the good show?
Performance, LOL. Have been to OFB Icchapore a few years back with a friend working there. That place was literally rotten to the core. Even the hostal was to dilapidated to sleep.
Babus go to the office only for punching in the attendance scanner.

MoD releases draft Defence Production and Export Promotion Policy 2020 In order to provide impetus to self-reliance in defence manufacturing, multiple announcements were made under ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat Package’. In implementing such framework and to position India amongst the leading countries of the world in defence and aerospace sectors, Ministry of Defence (MoD) has formulated a draft Defence Production and Export Promotion Policy 2020 (DPEPP 2020).

The policy has laid out following goals and objectives:

- To develop a dynamic, robust and competitive Defence industry, including Aerospace and Naval Shipbuilding industry to cater to the needs of Armed forces with quality products.
- To reduce dependence on imports and take forward "Make in India" initiatives through domestic design and development.
- To promote export of defence products and become part of the global defence value chains.
- To create an environment that encourages R&D, rewards innovation, creates Indian IP ownership and promotes a robust and self-reliant defence industry.
The Policy brings out multiple strategies under the following focus areas:
- Procurement Reforms
- Indigenization & Support to MSMEs/Startups
- Optimize Resource Allocation
- Investment Promotion, FDI & Ease of Doing Business
- Innovation and R&D

Indian MoD Unveils First ‘No Import’ Weapons List
Among the world’s largest importers of military hardware, India has just announced its first list of 101 weapon systems and equipment that it will no long purchase from abroad. The expansive list, accessed first by Livefist, covers a large spectrum of hardware including transport aircraft, artillery guns, combat helicopters, radar systems, simulators, assault rifles, warships and more.
The first set of items will be banned from import starting December 2020, followed by another set from December 2021 and a third from December 2022.
Making the announcement on Twitter, Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said, “This decision will offer a great opportunity to the Indian defence industry to manufacture the items in the negative list by using their own design and development capabilities or adopting the technologies designed & developed by DRDO to meet the requirements of the Armed Forces. The embargo on imports is planned to be progressively implemented between 2020 to 2024. Our aim is to apprise the Indian defence industry about the anticipated requirements of the Armed Forces so that they are better prepared to realise the goal of indigenisation. All necessary steps would be taken to ensure that timelines for production of equipment as per the Negative Import List are met, which will include a co-ordinated mechanism for hand holding of the industry by the Defence Services. More such equipment for import embargo would be identified progressively by the DMA in consultation with all stakeholders. A due note of this will also be made in the DAP to ensure that no item in the negative list is processed for import in the future.“
Here’s the full list of 101 items on India’s first negative list. We’ll have a separate post with an analysis and breakdown of these items and what this list means.

So, we won't import transport aircraft. We won't manufacture them either. Hope we have enough to last us a decade or so for we don't have plans to develop any in-house too. Which leaves us open with the last option - a JV.Indian MoD Unveils First ‘No Import’ Weapons List

Interestingly there's no ban on importing the LUH. All those in favor of its import, pls note. There's still hope for the IN.
Why is it naming things? Why is there astra and LCA? It should be BVR missiles of this much range and fighters of this much MTOW.
It should be a category with spec limits.
It should be a category with spec limits.
LUH is for IA/IAF naval utility requirement weights almost double. Thus it has a separate name.
Well, you don't see any helicopters on that list, do you, irrespective of the weight?
The First Cut Off Date is Unrealistic
They mean to say that all necessary pending import orders will be placed before December 2020
Domestic private sector is just beginning their activities
The First cut off date will have to be extended
Will the finance ministry provide all the funds for placing orders before December 2020
