`Make in India` in defense |
The government is open to reviewing all cases of blacklisted defencefirms on merit and has partially lifted a ban on Tatra trucks as itprepares a new policy that will allow foreign defence firms to legallyhire agents, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said. The new DefenceProcurement Policy (DPP), that will lay thrust on development ofdomestic defence industry and faster acquisition process, will beissued in another month and a half. The state-run BEML has beenallowed to supply spare parts for the Tatra trucks as long as it doesnot deal with the British subsidiary of the company, which was bannedby the UPA following a scandal. Parrikar pointed out that one shouldnot just go by the name Tatra as there are 3-4 companies which makethe trucks.
