भारत सरकार का उद्यमA GOVERNMENT OF INDIA ENTERPRISE

Procedure

The indigenisation procedure followed by MIL are given below:

1. Indigenisation through External Agencies such as Public Entities, Private Entities, Government Entities.
2. Indigenisation through In-House development activities.

INDIGENISATION THROUGH EXTERNAL AGENCIES

• Self-Reliance: The indigenisation is required to achieve greater self-reliance in tune with Government of India indigenisation programme of Atmanirbhar Bharat. In view of this, MIL has taken initiative to indigenise all the items being imported presently.
• Techno-Commercial Details: The process of indigenisation is initiated by the concerned unit of MIL. Towards this technical and commercial input is obtained from various agencies/vendors.
• Feasibility Study: This is a study to identify and establish whether it is practicable to meet the scientific and technical issues as well as it being a commercially viable option.
• Decision for route of Indigenisation: This is a study to identify the appropriate route of indigenisation such as MAKE-I, MAKE-II, I-Dex.
• Request for Proposal: The proposal for indigenous development is floated to all known potential vendors after short-listing them on reputation and capabilities. The RFP is a document that spells out technical and commercial aspects.

The present status of Indigenisation through External Agencies is listed below

• Products under MAKE-I Categories – 03 Nos
• Products under MAKE -II Categories – 23 Nos
• Products under I-Dex Challenge – 02 No

INDIGENISATION THROUGH IN-HOUSE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

MIL product range also covers some of the ammunition produced based on foreign technical assistance. Production through the routes of Transfer of Technology (ToT) is meant not only to provide the factories opportunity to utilise the existing capability and meet the operational requirements of the armed forces but also to enable them to enhance India’s self-reliance in defence production.

Status of Indigenisation of items under Technology Absorption

• Product under In- House Indigenisation activities – 16 Nos

MAKE-I

Under Make-I, units of MIL will provide financial support up to 70% of prototype development cost to Development Agency (DA)s. Fund would be released in a phased manner based on the progress of the project, as per terms agreed between units of MIL and DA(s). However, the final percentage or upper limit of financial support to be provided may vary from case to case and would be dependent upon nature of the project and the fund support sought by the selected DAs for development of prototype.

But there is no assurance of supply order to be placed on the Development Agency (DA) on successful development.

MAKE-II

The ‘Make-II’ procedure notified by MoD is part of “Make” procedure of the DPP2016 with an objective of wider participation of Indian industry and impetus for MSME/start-ups sector. As per MoD letter No. D.O No. 18(2)/18/MIIOFB&DPSUs/DP(Plg-MS) dated 07 Mar, 2019, MoD had directed DPSUs to incorporate a similar procedure into their existing procurement procedures. In this sub-category of Make-II, no MIL funding is envisaged for Design & Development (D&D) but there has to be an assurance of Supply Order to be placed on the lowest bidding Development Agency (DA) on successful development.
