THE GOVERNMENT HAD SET UP THE KELKAR COMMITTEE IN 2004

AIM

TO EXAMINE AND RECOMMEND CHANGES NEEDED IN DEFENCE ACQUISITION PROCEDURES

ENABLING A GREATER PARTICIPATION OF PRIVATE SECTOR IN DEFENCE PRODUCTION

STRENGTHENING SELF-RELIANCE IN DEFENCE PREPAREDNESS.

THE COMMITTEE SUBMITTED ITS REPORT IN TWO PARTS.

FOCUSED ON THE REVIEW OF THE DEFENCE PROCUREMENT PROCEDURE

MADE SEVERAL RECOMMENDATIONS LINKED TO THE ISSUE OF ENHANCING INDIGENOUS

PRODUCTION.

SECOND PART OF THE COMMITTEE’S REPORT WAS SUBMITTED TO MOD IN NOV 2005.

THE COMMITTEE HAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD GIVE GREATER FREEDOM

TO THE PSUS TO FORM JOINT VENTURES AND CONSORTIUMS.

THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADOPTION OF THE SOUTH KOREAN MODEL TO IDENTIFY RAKSHA

UDYOG RATNA (RUR) ON THE BASIS OF THEIR PERFORMANCE.

35

PREPARATION OF A 15-YEAR LONG-TERM PLAN, FORMING THE BASIS FOR AN ACQUISITION PROGRAMME

ACCREDITATION AND FOSTERING OF RAKSHA UDYOG RATNA /CHAMPION

EVOLVE POLICY FRAMEWORK TO PROMOTE PARTICIPATION OF SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES IN DEFENCE PRODUCTION

SETTING UP A NEW PROFESSIONAL AGENCY FOR DEFENCE ACQUISITION

PROVIDING DEFENCE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES, BOTH TO THE DRDO AND THE INDUSTRY

PROMOTING TRANSPARENCY IN DECISION MAKING.

ENCOURAGING OPTIMUM UTILIZATION OF EXISTING CAPACITY.

WORKING OUT REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) TO INCLUDE AN OFFSET CLAUSE FOR CONTRACTS VALUED AT RS. 300 CRORES AND ABOVE.
