The Indian Ministry of Defence (MoD) has recently announced certain amendments to the Defence Procurement Procedures 2008 (DPP 2008). The amendments which come into force from 1st November 2009, are intended to further promote the domestic industry to participate in defence production; streamline formulation of qualitative requirements; ensure greater transparency and accountability in defence procurement; and facilitate offset transactions.
There is a clear attempt to promote indigenous industry, a demand which is steadily being raised by the captains of both the public and private sector now.

The amendments to DPP-2008 althogh shows commiment of MoD towards reforms, the revision itself has created a lot of confusion. For instance, the procurement category has increased. It might add to the problems faced by the acquisition functionaries.
