India Aerospace & Defence Sector Report

Foreword
Dr. A. Didar Singh

Secretary General, FICCI
India has emerged as the worlds largest arms buyer over the last couple of years and is in the process
of replacing an ageing Soviet-era military hardware with modern military weapons from major defence
manufacturers such as USA, Israel, Russia, UK and France. The Indian defence sector is set to embark on
a significant growth path in the near future as a result of a slew of initiatives taken by the Ministry of
Defence, such as increase in FDI, delicensing of non-lethal and dual use items and a declared export
strategy. With the announcement of the Make in India campaign by the government, the
manufacturing sector is likely to gain momentum to which the defence sector expected to make a
significant contribution.
FICCI has been a votary of a vibrant defence manufacturing base with a level playing field for the
private sector. Ever since the defence sector was officially opened to the private sector in 2001, the
Indian industry has welcomed the move and has expressed its desire to repeat the success stories of
the space, atomic energy and automotive sectors in defence. This strategic sector till date has
progressed slowly and India has taken gradual strides in evolving industry and investor-friendly
policies. Defence has been accorded the highest priority by the present government with the Honble
Prime Minister himself emphasizing the commitment and focus on defence on every major occasion.
The government is further streamlining the acquisition process by simplifying the Defence
Procurement Procedure to eliminate red tape and facilitate speedier acquisition for meeting the
operational requirements of our forces.
FICCI has been at the helm of the policy dialogue with the Ministry of Defence, user and other
stakeholders towards establishing a modern Defence Industrial Complex and many of its
suggestions have been built into the policy framework.
The FICCI-Centrum Report has highlighted the recent initiatives undertaken by the government to
encourage industry, to come forward to partake of the growth of this strategic sector. I believe that this
report will help readers to gain a 3600 perspective on the Aerospace & Defence sector and
opportunities in India. The snapshot of a few selected defence companies (representing Public, Private
and MSME segment) has given valuable information which can be used by corporates to analyze the
sector from an investors perspective.

Indias security environment is defined by a complex interplay of regional and global imperatives and
challenges. As India seeks to achieve transformative national growth and development internally, we
have to pursue a robust defence strategy and policies which aim to address the wide spectrum of
conventional and non-conventional security challenges faced by the country.
We at Centrum believe it is time for Aerospace & Defence Sector to be given its long over-due
recognition as a core industry as is the case in most developed countries. With the Honorable Prime
Ministers call for Make in India we believe the national priorities have been set and the Aerospace &
Defence Sector will meet the challenge in building a vibrant Defence Industrial base in India. This
would also encourage and attract investments in indigenous strategic Defence programs and the
Indian Defence industry to be SFDLPOFEXJUI.
Emphasis should be given on public-private collaboration to bring in an efficient system in place and
promote Bcompetitive environment whichXPVME help in setting up Bdefence industrial base in the

This is possible only through an investor friendly regulatory regime that provides for technological selfreliance in defence systems and encourages investment in developing critical infrastructure for the
Aerospace and Defence industry. The report is also a ready compendium of the opportunities based on
the current policy framework and assessing the future demand-supply scenario besides showcasing
the way forward.
I am sure stakeholders across the value chain of Aerospace & Defence Sector will find this report useful.

Sector Report
Today India, Tomorrow World Secular Growth Sector

After growing in line with nominal GDP in the last decade, we believe Indian companies in the defence sector (in
aggregate) are poised for sustained high growth in the next decade and address an opportunity that could reach
$41bn in size by FY22 (7xFY14). We believe this will be driven by both higher domestic and external demand
unlike in the past when it was entirely by the former. While higher indigenous content (currently at 30%) in the
Indian defence capital spend will be the near term driver, we expect exports (hitherto negligible) to be a key long
term factor (offsets to begin with, cost effectiveness driven outsourcing later on). We believe fiscal constraints in
developed markets over the next 5-10 years will put defence spending under pressure. With intensifying
competition between US and European systems integrators, price pressures are a certainty. Over the past 4-5
years we have seen an explosion in partnerships (JVs and MOUs) between Indian and global players (likely due to
relaxation of controls on export of defence technology by the US and other countries and also by lack of choices
as China is still on the banned list). These partnerships will exploit offset and indigenization related demand,
near term. These would also set the stage for India becoming a critical part of the supply chain of global players
for components and sub-assemblies, driving export growth, long term. There is evidence that such a move is
already on. We believe India has some of the basic ingredients (large and relatively low cost engineering talent
pool, comfort of western nations with India from a geo-political perspective) to deliver on this opportunity but
will have to significantly improve on some others (technology, lack of a defence manufacturing ecosystem, etc).
Besides, we believe the nature of warfare is becoming more software intensive, which plays into the strength of
India with IT Sector Growth and its diversified presence. Post 10-15-year learning curve we expect some Indian
companies to move up the value chain to become independent systems integrators across technology-designsystem integration value chain in their own right or be part of significant consortia.
The opportunity has critical mass, good growth and longevity: As it repairs its finances, we expect US to play a less
active military role in the Asian region in the foreseeable future. This will coincide with the economic and military
ascendancy of China that could lead to greater tensions with India. Already China has widened the lead with India in a
number of areas of defence (3.5x Indias military spend in 2013 vs. 1.5x in 2000). With troubled borders, India will have to
increase its defence spend/NGDP to 2-2.5% (vs. FY14 spend of 1.79%) to close the gap. This is also required to correct
under spending on capex in the last 20 years. While the revenue part (60%) of the defence spend is largely internal, the
capex (~40%) is largely import focused (70%+, India is among worlds largest arms importers) leading to a relatively
small domestic defence sector with Defence PSUs (HAL, BEL, BEML, BDL, MDL, GRSE) having a significant share. Private
companies, restricted from defence production until 2001, seem to have caught up lately. We believe the low base sets
the stage for strong growth ahead for private companies. Credible defence initiatives have been taken over two decades
by large industrial groups like Tatas, L&T, and in the past decade by M&M, Bharat Forge, Godrej, Pipavav, Rolta, among
others.
Competitive moats are fairly wide: Technology is the key driver of competitiveness. For Indian companies this has to
be accessed either through DRDO, a foreign JV partner or developed through internal R&D spend. This we believe puts
larger Indian companies (both PSU and private) in a significantly better position to be system integrators compared to
smaller ones that will assume tierised roles. The role of MSMEs will be significant as they are houses of innovations and
champions of niche technology and products. These niche technology and products along with system integrators will
play a critical role in building Indias defence manufacturing base.
With homegrown technology developed in a few segments and relatively under-developed in others, credibility and
flexibility of foreign partners and their governments on flow of technologies and joint development will be winning

factors for Indian players. However, in the long term, just as in the pharma, automotive and IT sectors we believe India
jointly by:
has the capacity to be an R&D base. Also, with global systems integrators restructuring in the new normal defence
Federation of Indian Chambers spending era, and looking to diversify revenue streams, there will be many opportunities to buy assets in the developed
of Commerce and Industry world. Indian companies with deep pockets can potentially hasten their process of becoming systems integrators by
buying some of these entities (eg: Mahindras bought Gipps Aero Australia and Aerostaff Australia, Piramal bought
(FICCI)
Bluebird Aero).
Exports to be a large opportunity; driven by significant cuts in US spending: Of the $1.7trn defence spend (2013
SIPRI estimate), ~55% comes from the developed world with 37% from the US alone. With pressure to control fiscal
deficits and lower Debt/GDP ratios, we believe defence spending will be a major casualty. Despite the financial crisis in
2008, defence spending sustained because of Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Post that, US indicated a cut of $450bn to
$1.1trn over 10-12 years if other deficit reduction plans do not materialize. Western nations will however not want to
compromise their national security even under these circumstances. This will lead to higher level of outsourcing as
defence forces world-wide will seek better price from vendors.
AND
Opportunity for Investors will open up: We believe opportunities will expand both in PSUs (as government divests)
Centrum Capital Ltd
and private companies (as conglomerates spin off defence entities, new pure play defence entities execute well and
become larger) for financial investors. Defence sector has size, steady growth, longevity of opportunity, returns ratios,
etc which will work in its favor compared to many other sectors in India. We believe large Indian private conglomerates
with varied skill-sets currently housed in multiple unconnected subsidiaries will pounce on the opportunity. Frugal
engineering and manufacturing practices, design skills and competence in software, metallurgy, understanding of
export markets, ability to build relationships with foreign government will be the winners in the long term.
Executive Summary
Indian Defence Sector Secular Growth Story
Indian defence sector is at the cusp of an inflexion point wherein the future growth will be propelled
by indigenous manufacturing both for domestic & global clients. We believe the sector will witness
strong growth over the next decade due to its current size, longevity, and competitive advantages.
Indian defence spend is large when compared to other spends in the economy but is underrepresented in terms of market capitalization on listed stock exchanges. The defence spend has
been in the 2-2.5% range of the nominal GDP in the past decade while market capitalization of
Indian defence companies has never been above 0.7% of the GDP at any given point in time. The
key reasons for this are:
A large part of spend (60% currently) is revenue expenditure which is internal in nature. Unlike
in the US where some non-core functions are outsourced, Indian armed forces have always
relied on doing these functions internally. We see these functions changing over the next 5 - 10
years though we believe this area is unlikely to grow as fast as the capex.
Of the capex (40% of the budgeted spend) about 70% is imported in fact India is among the
largest importers of weapon systems globally. This is reflected in lower revenues of Indian
corporates.
Major defence PSUs are HAL, BEL, BEML, Mazagon Docks Limited and Bharat Dynamics Limited.
Of these, BEL & BEML are listed on Indian stock exchanges BSE & NSE.
Large private sector firms are all part of listed entities like L&T, Tata Power, Tata Motors, M&M,
Bharat Forge, or unlisted unlisted holding companies like Tata Sons.
However we see this situation changing over the next 10-15 years. Our belief is based on the
following:
We expect defence spend to move closer to 2.25% (from the lowest ever number in FY14 at
1.79%) of Nominal GDP as US repairs its financials. This we believe will be accompanied by an
assertive and high spending China, which India will try to counter by increasing its own level of
spending. While the Indian fiscal may not be in the best shape currently, we believe relatively
better growth and increase in Tax/GDP ratio post implementation of tax reforms, widening of
tax net and removal of exemptions, will give it fiscal firepower.
We believe the Capex/opex mix will shift towards capex in the coming decade. We expect the
mix will shift towards 50:50 or higher vs. 60:40 in favor of opex now. We believe the focus will
be on smaller, smarter and a more effective armed force.
o We believe indigenization will take center stage and gather pace going forward. Government
took a number of steps in this direction, by opening up defence production to the private sector
and allowing 26% FDI in 2001 and defined categorization hierarchy in favour of indigenous
procurement in 2013. Recently, the FDI limit was further raised from 26 percent to composite
cap of 49 percent (FDI and FII) through the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) route
with full Indian management and control. With technology transfers becoming easier in recent
times, we believe this will gather pace. DPP 2013 furthers the cause of developing domestic
defence sector by prioritizing procurement from Indian companies and buying from global
companies as the last resort.
Under the Make in India initiative introduced by Honble Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
simplification of the Make procedure, financial incentives in terms of a tax holiday and
incentivizing R&D were announced. GoI has streamlined the offset policy with innovative
components by giving thrust to MSME sector and streamlining export procedures. It has also
been decided to promote defence and aerospace exports through an export promotion body.
We believe that this initiative will incentivize private players to invest more into Aerospace and
Defence sector and help exports grow.
The offset clause (which stipulates that 30-50% of the armament purchase value should be
spent on buying Indian components, sub-systems and products) introduced in capital purchase
agreements with foreign defence players will ensure that an ecosystem of suppliers is built
domestically. Besides helping build domestic capabilities, it will bolster exports in the long
term.
We also believe India will become a large sourcing base for components and sub-systems in the
years to come for foreign systems integrators. We believe this will happen as these companies
face price pressure in the years ahead as the large arms consumers US and the western
developed world seek cut backs on defence spending to improve their financial position and
rein in fiscal deficits and debt/GDP ratios. Already a number of JVs have been signed between
Indian and foreign players. We also see initial signs of global players setting up R&D divisions in
India and sourcing parts of final products from Indian vendors.
We believe India has some of the basic ingredients (large and relatively low cost (Frugal)
engineering talent pool, comfort of western nations with India from a geo-political perspective)
to exploit this opportunity but it will have to significantly improve on some others (technology,
lack of a defence manufacturing ecosystem, etc). Also, we believe the nature of warfare is
becoming more software intensive, which plays into the strength of India considering IT sector
growth in the past two decades.
In the next 5-10 years we expect Indian players to become systems integrators. We believe this
process could be hastened by inorganic initiatives by groups with deep pockets (L&T, Tata,
Mahindra & Mahindra, Reliance Industries, Bharat Forge, etc) who may pick up assets divested
by foreign defence players as they restructure and become trimmer (eg: Piramal bought
Bluebird Aero of Israel in 2012).
While our expectation on defence exports ($17bn by FY22) may seem audacious considering
the very small base, we have been in similar situation in other sectors too in the past (IT services,
Pharma and Auto). Catalysts have brought out inherent strengths of the Indian corporate
sector.
a.
In the case of IT services it was Y2K phenomenon and the development of the
internet (which made offshore delivery possible in large quantities). Later, it was
the moving up the value chain from pure IT to IT enabled - Engineering Services
offering high-skill high-talent pool for offloading design and engineering services
to India.
b.
In the case of the Pharma sector it was the genericisation of the space as patents
expired in the developed world.
c.
In the case of the Auto sector, it began with auto ancillaries and then low
employee costs combined with an extensive supplier base led India to become the
worlds small car hub.
Recently, during the US President visit, Indo-US ties reached a new high with President Barack
Obama and Prime Minister Narendra Modis announcing the renewal of the expansive defense
ties for another 10 years. India and the US decided to kick off joint manufacturing of four
relatively modest military products and explore the development of two more high-end
technologies. The two nations agreed to step up joint combat exercises, maritime security
endeavors, intelligence-sharing mechanisms and military exchanges.
All these involve active support of the government through appropriate incentives.
Financial Investors Should Look Forward to Increased Activity & Stable

Returns
Significant wealth creation likely: While current investible universe is very small, we believe
opportunities exist in both the PSUs (as government divests) and private companies (as
conglomerates spin off defence entities, new pure play defence entities execute well and become
larger). In our opinion, this is a sector where size, steady growth, longevity of opportunity, returns
ratios, etc. will work in its favor compared to other sectors in the Indian investible universe. We
believe large Indian private conglomerates that bring varied skillsets currently housed in multiple
unconnected subsidiaries will pounce on the opportunity frugal engineering and manufacturing
practices, design and software skills, expertise in metallurgy, understanding of export markets,
ability to build relationships with foreign governments, will be winners in the long term. We see
credible defence initiatives being taken up by large industrial groups like Tatas, Larsen Toubro,
Mahindras, Bharat Forge, Rolta, SKIL Infra, among others. Besides these we believe PSU entities like
HAL, BEL, BEML, BDL, MDL will also be significant beneficiaries.
We believe investors will have to look at the following points when considering investments:
That the opportunity will move up 7x over the next 8 years; Growing at rates higher than NGDP,
this sector could be dubbed a growth sector attracting premium valuations. While some
amount of competition driven margin pressure is likely, earnings growth should be higher than
NGDP, if not in line with industry growth.
We believe return ratios of some leaders should be significantly better than those of most other
companies/sectors in the market.
Risks of investing in the sector

Significant slippages on the fiscal front, lengthy procurement and evaluation processes and
frequent changes in procurement organization, controversies related to corruption and disputes
over short listing in competitive bids and public private partnerships will delay acquisition plans of
the armed forces and impact timing of revenues and earnings of companies. With a stable
government in place and its commitment on modernization and indigenization of the armed forces,
we hope acquisition programs will be executed in a time bound manner.
Deals in Aerospace & Defence Sector

Though deals in the defence space are very few, we believe, this sector will witness increasing
number of deals as regulatory policies are streamlined driving the overall defence sector.

Current Domestic Defence Production is Insufficient

Although private players were allowed entry into the Indian defence market in 2001, they
have struggled to gain significant market share until lately. For the better part of the last
decade, defence PSUs dominated the market and continued to be nominated for almost all
major orders. Compounding the late entry was lack of access to technology from western
countries as export of military technology and dual use technology was banned post
Nuclear Explosion in 1998. This is one of the main reasons behind domestic industrys lack of
capacity in defence production outside Defence PSUs with a few exceptions in the private
sector. This is despite the private sectors reasonably well-developed manufacturing
capabilities. The AVRO case is a glaring example of public sector stalling private sectors effort
to develop second line of aircraft manufacturing in India. In 2012, to meet the requirement of
the Indian Air Force, the Defence Ministry tendered out 56 AVRO aircrafts for the IAF. The
situation has changed with focused indigenization agenda starting with Defence Production
Policy 2011 and Defence Procurement Procedure of 2013 that mandates hierarchical
categorization of procurement in favor of indigenous buying. Along with it controls by
foreign countries and OEMs on export of military technology to India were eased.
Key Players in Indian Defence Industry

Historically, the government restricted private sector participation because of inherent securitysensitive nature of the industry. As such, the private sector is relatively young and is behind the
DPSUs/OFs in terms of infrastructure and DRDO in terms of R&D capability. However, in recent years
private sector has found favor with government and attracted increased interest from foreign
systems integrators. With this combination of legislative support and capital/expertise inflow,
private companies have experienced notable growth. They still have room to increase their market
share. Exhibit 3 shows the current estimates of the market structure in the domestic defence
industry.

1) Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs)

The Indian government first created the DPSUs in early 1960s to demonstrate their intention to
pursue self-sufficiency in defence production. Although the liberalization process in the 1990s led to
India opening up private participation to 100% in the defence industry in 2001, the public sector still
dominated. Currently, the public sector including OFB accounts for 60% of indigenous defence
manufacturing and around 3/4th of which can be attributed to the 8 DPSUs. DPSUs have significant
advantages over private peers because of their MoD ownership. Critically, they receive the following
benefits and still enjoy their share of autonomy.
Access to latest technologies through DRDO and till recently, exclusive rights to ToT (transfer of
technology) from Foreign OEMs
Beneficial tax policies to DPSUs and their foreign partners
Nomination for / Prioritization for defence contracts
Favorable Payment terms (advances as well as multiple progress payments) and risk coverage
by Government for Forex content of nominated contracts
Indexation for Local Inflation
Despite these benefits, DPSUs have grown at best in line with the defence spend and have not been
able to displace foreign systems integrators and have borne the brunt of criticism from the armed
services and government representatives. Problems include lack of emphasis on in-house R&D,
technology dependence on Foreign OEMs for successive generation of equipment and systems and
for upgrades, low labor productivity and decreasing value addition as a percentage of production.
DPSUs have also been blamed for depending too much on external sources for production
requirements, thus directly contradicting their main objective of achieving self-sufficiency. Ironically,
most of this is outsourced to domestic private companies at prejudicial terms (delivery based
payment terms) even though DPSUs themselves have been very vocal in their opposition to
governments continued support of private participation in the defence industry.

2) Ordnance Factories
The Ordnance Factories Board (OFB) is by far the most experienced defence manufacturing entity.
First established in 1775, the OFB now operates directly under Ministry of Defence with the primary
objective of achieving self-sufficiency in equipping the Indian Defence Forces. Currently there are 41
factories spread across the country active in the production of military equipment for the Army,
Navy, and Air Force. Recent estimates put its contribution to total domestic defence production at
10-15%. As with the DPSUs, ordnance factories enjoy government funding and the latest available
technology. They are often criticized for very low labour productivity and poor quality and
increasingly subcontract to MSMEs
3) Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO)

The government established DRDO in 1958 as the research and development wing of the Ministry of
Defence. DRDO receives allocation of 5% of total defence budget. Its primary objective is to develop
cutting-edge technologies that can be implemented in weapons systems. Although DRDO has
made good strides, with Rs1 trn worth orders for its systems to date, it has had to do so without
technology from foreign sources. Till recently, the lack of transfer of technology provisions in
partnerships with foreign contractors limited the ability of the DRDO to integrate new complex
technologies in their systems.

Increasing FDI Limit is Not the Ultimate Remedy for Addressing

Core Issue of Transfer of Technology
The Indian government has been taking steps to develop a sophisticated domestic defence
industry. To truly achieve self-sufficiency in military procurement, it still has some decisions
to make and reforms to enact. FDI in the defence industry currently has a limit of 49% with an
option to increase it to 100% if the deal involves high-end technology transfer and is
approved by MoD. Post partial success of opening up the sector to foreign players on 49%
FDI through automatic route, many stakeholders are seeking further increase in FDI cap up to
100%.
We believe mere increase in FDI does not necessarily lead to Technology Transfer.
FDI limit has the potential to have the largest impact on shaping the industrys future. If we consider
that many other sectors have had their FDI caps lifted (private banking at 49%, non-banking
financial companies at 100%, power at 100%, pharma at 100%, real estate at 100%, public
transportation at 100%) it is not unreasonable to expect the FDI cap in defence to be done away
with completely.
Key Issues to be Given Importance While Approving Increased Defence FDI:
14
Control in Indian hands: Defence being a strategic sector, the domestic partner should
maintain 51% stake and Majority control in the JV all the time.
OEMs Host Government Must Approve Transfer of Technology Agreement: It is a major

factor affecting OEMs capability to share technology despite increase in FDI share. This is
mainly because defence technologies are strategic assets and funded through taxpayers
money limiting the intent to transfer / share with another country. Hence, the OEMs Host
government should approve of the ToT Agreement with the Indian government / partner.
IPRs to reside within India: The technology developed by the Indian Joint Venture should be
of global standards and the IPRs should reside with the JV in India.
Give Priority to Indian nationals in hiring and recruitment: The JVC should hire Indian
nationals at operational and supervisory levels wherever possible. Only in situations, where it is
imperative to have foreign nationals, such as in technology transfers, training etc, should they
be hired.

MoD revises offset policy to include Transfer of Technology (ToT)
The governments general stance on ToT was not conducive to domestic industrys development
until two years ago. ToT was not included in the eligible product/service list for discharging offset
obligations. A popular concern cited by the government was that no country, especially the United
States, will be willing to hand over defence technology regardless of policy. Another reason for
abstaining from this revision was the difficulty to quantify the value of technology, and that this
could lead to foreign contractors misusing the policy to discharge offsets quickly.
However, MoD has included ToT in offset discharge obligation. In fact, if the technology is delivered
to DRDO or MSME, the multiplier effect also comes in to play.
India is on a similar trajectory as other countries, and they have all at some stage realized that the
pros far outweigh the cons. All of them have seen that developing technology is the single, most
important step to establishing a sophisticated, self-sufficient defence industry. We believe this
realization of the government is a positive step.

DPP 2013 Provides Priority to Domestic Source of Acquisition

One of the major changes in DPP 2013 is the change in order of priority for procurement from
indigenous sources. As per DPP 2013, the statement of case (SOC) seeking acceptance of necessity
(AON) is required to include detailed justification for recommending categorization as well as
reasons why each of the higher preferred categorization was not considered.
Exhibit 7: Preferred Categorization Of Capital Acquisition in DPP 2013

Key Highlights of changes in DPP 2013

x Indigenous content requirement will now extend all the way to lowest tier of sub vendor
making way for opportunities for vendors making components to compete against cheaper
foreign components
x Penalties for not achieving stipulated indigenous content levels at each stage with a scope to
make up for the deficiency at a later stage
x Inclusion of Field Evaluation Trials (FET) stage in maintaining offset requirement
x Reducing validity of AoN from 2 years to one year except Buy and Make (Indian)
x Provision of ToT to Indian Public/Private entity, for providing Maintenance Infrastructure, would
be applicable for BUY (Global)
In a boost to the micro, small and medium enterprises sector, while DPP 2011 had identified setting
up of a fund to provide resources for development of defence equipment, the source has been
specifically identified in DPP 2013. Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) will earmark
an amount of Rs. 500 crore for providing loans, and further, a fund of Rs. 50 crore for equity support
out of India Opportunities Fund managed by its subsidiary SIDBI Venture Capital Ltd. Union
Budget has made provisions for Rs1bn Technology Development Fund to support research and
development of defence systems resources. The technology development fund will act like a
venture capital fund for SMEs doing R&D in design and development encouraging innovations.
(ToT is also defined in various categories in DPP 2013, which had not been included in DPP
2011. This will overcome ambiguity existing at present. There are five categories of ToT with
the highest involving complete transfer and lowest where there is no transfer.
Category 1: Complete transfer of technology.
Category 2: Complete transfer of technology of sub-vendor.
Category 3: Partial transfer of technology with non-transfer of technology of sub-vendor.
Category 4: Only drawings will be provided.
Category 5: Proprietary item no transfer of technology.

Major developments for Defence sector in the past year

x
Indo US Ties (Early 2015)

o Indo US ties reached a new high when President of USA visited India for its Republic
day celebrations. Renewing their expansive defense ties for another 10 years, India and
US decided to kick off joint manufacturing of four relatively modest military products
and explore the development of two more high-end technologies. The two nations
agreed to step up joint combat exercises, maritime security endeavors, intelligencesharing mechanisms, military exchanges and the like through the framework, which
has the key new element of Defence Trade and Technology Initiative (DTTI) to bolster
India's fledgling defence-industrial base.
o The four products to be co-produced are the next-generation Raven unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs), "roll-on, roll-off" intelligence-gathering and reconnaissance modules
for C-130J Super Hercules aircraft, mobile electric hybrid power sources and "uniform
integrated protection ensemble increment-2 (chemical, biological warfare protection
gear for soldiers)".
o The Raven, for instance, is not an advanced spy or combat drone. A hand-launched
mini drone, it is used by soldiers in the battlefield to keep tabs on enemy formations
within a range of 10km. The two sides, however, plan to extend its range to 18km and
flying endurance to six hours from the existing four hours. Similarly, the 12 C-130Js
acquired by India from the US for over $2 billion since 2007 did not have the requisite
surveillance modules that they will now get. They decided to setup working groups to
explore development of aircraft carrier technologies and jet engines.
Strong Push for Make in India Initiative for boosting manufacturing sector (Late 2014)
o The current focus as envisaged in recent statements and policy initiatives of the
government has focused on the desire of not just greater indigenisation or India has a
favorable manufacturing hub, but also India as exporting defence equipment and
solutions to global market.
Budget (Early 2014)

o Defence budget marginally rose from Rs 2.24trn to Rs 2.29trn, an increase of Rs 50bn.
o The government has budgeted Rs. 946bn under capital outlay. This amounts to Rs50bn
more than sanctioned in the interim budget of February 2014.
o This increase of Rs 50bn (capital outlay) includes a sum of Rs 10bn for accelerating the
development of railway system in border areas.
o FDI limit increased in defence from 26% to composite cap of 49% (FDI and FII) through
the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) route with full Indian management and
control.
o Rs 1bn Technology Development Fund to support research and development in
defence systems resources.
o

Impact of the Budget announcements

Development of railway system in border areas will help in strategic movement of
defence forces and heavy defence machinery at a faster pace.
Increase in FDI limit will attract foreign investors and bring defence technologies and
much needed financial support to capital intensive defence sector.
The technology development fund will act like a venture capital fund for SMEs doing
R&D in design and development encouraging innovations.
Defence Opportunity has size, growth and longevity going for it

Indias defence spend has critical mass when compared to sectors of the economy where investors
traditionally have taken exposure. The spend on an average was 2.12% of the nominal GDP in the
past decade. However, a large part of this defence spend is not reflected in revenues of domestic
companies and therefore has not resulted in larger addressable market for domestic companies,
because of the following:
A large part of it (60% currently) is revenue expenditure which is internal in nature. Unlike in
the US where some of the peripheral/support functions are outsourced, Indian armed forces
have always relied on doing them internally. We do not see this situation changing over the
next 2 decades though we believe the spend in this area is unlikely to grow as fast as capex.
Of the capex (43% of the budget) about 70% is imported in fact India has been the largest
importer of weapon systems globally in recent times. This gets reflected in lower revenues of
Indian corporates involved in the sector. This has meant that the industrial base necessary to
support this capex has not been built up adequately.
Besides the domestic defence spend there lies the large opportunity of addressing global
markets. However, exports have been miniscule. Over the past decade from FY00-12,
cumulative exports by India were only $172m (going by SIPRI data).
We believe the opportunity for Indian companies in the next 8 years (FY14-FY22) will cumulatively
be in the region of $251bn (this is only the arms acquisitions that India is likely to make) with
domestic contribution of $105bn. We believe offsets (which will fall under exports to contribute to
as much as $41b cumulatively in the next 8 years.
Expect solid growth: The opportunity addressed by Indian companies will grow at a higher rate
than Nominal GDP as a) Indias defence spend/GDP ratio inches up to 2.25% on a conservative basis
in FY22 from 1.79% of FY14. b) capex (part relevant to Indian corporates) will increase as a
percentage of total spend. c) there is going to be greater focus on indigenization. d) offsets are
going to be a big driver of revenues going forward for the industry. e) outsourcing to Indian
companies by global systems integrators will gather pace as price pressure emerges in developed
markets.

Estimation of the Size of the Opportunity

We estimate the market opportunity for Indian companies (PSU + Pvt) will grow 7x from $6bn in
FY14 to $41bn by FY22. We believe our numbers are realistic as we have assumed nominal GDP
growth of 12.3% (~7% real GDP growth and ~5% inflation) during this period, which takes into
account slower developed market growth and the impact it will have on Indias growth. Based on
the estimates worked out in Exhibit 11, $41bn in FY22 will be contributed largely by domestic (60%)
and export revenues (40%). Some of the other key assumptions made in this exercise are that
INR/USD rate would be at Rs62 and the imported part of defence acquisitions will fall to 50% from
current 70%.
Some of the key conclusions that we arrive at based on this exercise are that the cumulative defence
spend over FY14-FY22 will hit close to $620bn. Capex will form half of this. New armament spend
will be $251bn with imported equipment spend at $146bn.

Domestic revenues to pick up pace

Domestic revenues (using HAL+ BEL revenues as proxy) grew in line with nominal GDP in the
last decade. We expect domestic opportunity for Indian companies (from arms acquisitions)
to grow from $4bn in FY14 to $24bn in FY22 at 23% CAGR. The faster growth predicted is on
the back of the following:
Indian defence budgets to grow faster than nominal GDP growth as they have fallen below
historical levels. 50% of Indian defence equipment is obsolete.
The gap between India and China has widened from a military capability perspective with the
Chinese surging ahead in a number of areas (including stealth weapons, anti-satellite weapons,
etc) driven largely by domestic R&D and reverse engineering as western technology has been
denied to it since 1989. The surge in capabilities has been accompanied by a geopolitically
assertive China. Strong economic growth and high savings rate has helped China deliver on
this. With US likely to be less active in the Asian region as it repairs its financials, we believe India
will have to spend more to bridge the widening gap
Capex to opex ratio will change in favor of Capex. as the latter will be capped. We believe that
India will aim at a smaller, smarter and more effective armed force as many other countries have
done.
Indigenization will gain momentum. We believe that from 30% indigenous components in new
acquisitions the number can go up to 50% in the next 10 years. However, this will still be lower
than governments aspiration of 70%.
A freer technology transfer regime may be prompted by better perception of India among
Western nations. This is likely due to declining sales opportunities in the western world and
better bargaining power of the buyer (India) under current market conditions.

Indian Defence Budgets To Witness Higehr Growth Rates

We believe Indias defence budget will grow at a CAGR of 15% over FY14-22 slightly ahead of
expected nominal GDP growth of 12.5%. In the past decade (FY01-FY14) defence budgets
grew at 12% CAGR and capital expenditure budgets by 14.7% (when Nominal GDP grew by
14%). We expect India to expand its defence budget 1) as it seeks to maintain a semblance of
geo-political balance in Asia as US is likely to withdraw to repair its financials and narrow the
large gap that has developed with China militarily 2) Massive modernization undertaken as
50% of current equipment is obsolete due to less than adequate spend on defence in the past
3) reasonably comfortable funding position on the back of healthy tax revenues and
comfortable debt/GDP ratio relative to other nations and Indias own history.
Defence Spend/NGDP ratio to improve after a decade low in FY14

After clocking a 2%-2.5% over FY01-11, the defence budget/NGDP ratio has fallen to 1.79%-1.93%
range with an all-time low of 1.79% in FY14. We believe this is likely revert to the mean of 2.25% by
the second part of the coming decade as much of Indias equipment is obsolete and it has under
spent on its defence budget. After withdrawal from Afghanistan and Iraq, US has also lowered its
role in Asian geopolitics as its defence spending has come under severe scrutiny. Recent budget
pledges by the US government indicate a cut of $450bn over the next 12 years with the number
going up to $1.1trn automatically if no areas of deficit reduction are identified by the Super
committee.

China has significantly increased the gap with India militarily

Relative analysis of key adversaries India and China is given in Exhibit 17. Due to denial of defence
technology by western powers since the Tiananmen incident in 1989, the Chinese Defence and
aerospace fraternity got its act together by spending considerable amount of energy and money in
indigenous R&D and in reverse engineering some American and Russian equipment. In recent times
it closed the gap with the Americans in specific areas of technology (and naturally increased the gap
with India). To reduce the gap with the Chinese, Indian defence spending will have to increase
substantially as it cannot always look up to the western powers to maintain the current power
balance in the Asian region.
A look at defence spending data collected by SIPRI in 2000 shows, Chinese spends were 1.5x Indias.
In 2013 the number went up to ~3.5x. This increased spend was entirely channelized internally as
there was no access to western technology. This will turn out to be the best to happen to China. This
led to the creation of a large industrial base and significant R&D facilities in the defence sector.
SIPRI data shows Chinese defence spending grew 11% against Indias 5% between FY02-13.

China's widening gap with India
China's defence spend/GDP

Description
Chinas spend has been growing at a much faster clip compared to that of Indias
even if one were to adjust for local currency. Chinas spend used to be 1.5x Indias in
2000. In 2012 it was 3.3x. India's. Defence spending to GDP ratio is still much below 3
per cent level defined as an adequate level of expenditure in Indias first ever
Strategic Defence Review prepared by the National Security Advisory Board in 2000.
According to a Pentagon report
China is pursuing a major military buildup in a "secretive manner" developing
survivable nuclear delivery system, a 1,500 km range anti-ship missile to hit aircraft
carriers and has the most active land based ballistic and cruise missile program in the
world
Beijing is acquiring 'capabilities' to strike from a distance.
Beijing has developed missiles capable of striking targets in space and is also
expanding its fleet of conventional and nuclear submarines
China has the most active land-based ballistic and cruise missile program in the world
China is developing and testing several new classes of offensive missiles, qualitatively
upgrading certain missile systems and developing methods to counter ballistic
missile defenses
In January 2007, China launched a kinetic kill vehicle (KKV) to smash into its own
aging Fengyun (FY-1C) satellite
China has at least 53 conventional and seven nuclear attack submarines (SSNs)
Science and Technology
China targets fifth place from current sixth in global innovativeness ranking by 2020.
By 2040-50, China aims at science and technology (S&T) parity with US
R&D
There has been surging growth in the innovativeness of Chinese defence industry. In
1998, it filed for 313 patents. In 2008, it filed 11,000 patents. and In 2010, 15,000
patents.

Anecdotes
China and India had a verbal spat over the north-east Indian state of Arunachal
Pradesh. India claimed that China was occupying 38,000 square kilometers of its
territory in Kashmir, while China claimed the whole of Arunachal Pradesh as its own
China denied the application for visa from an Indian Administrative Service officer in
Arunachal Pradesh. According to China, since Arunachal Pradesh is a territory of
China, he would not need a visa to visit his own country
The People's Daily, a Communist Party mouthpiece that serves as a window to the
thinking of Beijing's insular leadership, published an exceptional broadside against
New Delhi on June 11. It described India's "tough posture" as "dangerous," and asked
India to "consider whether or not it can afford the consequences of a potential
confrontation with China."
The Indian Air Force announced it will station two squadrons of advanced Sukhoi-30
MKI aircraft in Tezpur, in Assam.
Asian Development Bank formally acknowledging Arunachal Pradesh as part of India
approved a loan to India for a development project there. Earlier China had exercised
pressure on the bank to cease the loan
India claimed that armed Chinese soldiers had infiltrated Indian territory and
threatened construction workers near a disputed border. New Delhi says China is
illegally occupying 38,000 square kilometers of its northwestern territory, while
Beijing claims a 90,000 square-kilometer chunk in northeastern India.
In one of the many cases of cross-border incursion, Chinese troops infiltrated Indian
territory in Ladakh and broke a camera set up by the Indian Army at the Line of Actual
Control (LAC). These cameras were of high resolution and had been put up by the
Indian soldiers to keep an eye on Chinese soldiers. The Chinese troops also
demolished the temporary structures built by the Indian Army and threatened the
Indians living in area to evacuate the place immediately.

Under spending across the board leading to obsolescence

Although defence expenditure budget and actual defence spending have been increasing in line
with NGDP since FY2001, there has been a trend of under spending by defence forces, particularly in
capital expenditure. From FY2001-2013 approximately INR 515 bn, or 13% of the cumulative capital
expenditure budget, was under-spent

A close inspection of each service divisions spending habits also reveals consistent under spending.
On average for the past 12 year between 2001-13: the Army underspends by 13%, the Navy
underspends by 5%, and the Air Force underspends by 14%. When you consider 2011 & 2012 as an
outlier for Navy and take it out of the calculation, the Navys average under spending jumps up to
11.3%.

However capital expenditure will pick up as Capex to Opex mix will improve from the current level.
We expect the country to focus on controlling the operating expenditure and focus on capital
acquisitions going forward. The focus would be on a smaller, leaner and a more effective armed
force. We believe about $77bn would be spent on arms capex till FY17 cumulatively and about
$295bn till FY22.

Modernization to be a key driver for Indian defence acquisition

Currently 50% of the military equipment is estimated to be obsolete and only 15% state-of-the-art.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) aims to reduce the former by 20% and to increase the latter by 15%.

MOD has allocated approximately 40% of total Defence spending to capital outlays to support its
modernization efforts. Capital outlays constitute expenditure on arms procurements, construction,
infrastructure and other military equipment.
The capital expenditure budgets have seen good growth rates (CAGR of 13%
between 2001-14)
Over the past decade between 2001 to 2013, the capital expenditure budgets have been increasing
at a CAGR of 13% and the total defence expenditure budgets at 10%. The same period has seen
Indias GDP grow at 14% in nominal terms. The capital component has been increasing steadily
increasing as a percentage of the total budget from 31% in FY2001 to 43% in FY2014. These
numbers demonstrate Indias appetite for procurement of state-of-the-art military equipment.
Statements from MoD indicate that India does not intend to slow down its purchase plan despite
already engaging in a decade of intensive acquisitions.

Note: The defence budget consists of two main parts, capital and revenue expenditures. Capital expenditures include the costs of
the development of infrastructure as well as procurement of military equipment, other armaments, and land. Revenue expenditures
include everyday operating expenses of the Indian Defence Force such as wages and salaries, which account for about half of the
revenue budget. The other components of the operating expenses are Interest payments, Payment to subsidies, Pension and
Paymenttopolicebycentralgovt.The key component here is the capital expenditures budget, of which the majority is allocated to
procuring new equipment from foreign or domestic sources. Roughly 75-85% of the capital expenditures budget has historically
gone to arms procurement, and this proportion is not likely to change.

capital expenditures by service division

On average over the past decade between 2001-2014, the Army accounts for 23% of the capital
expenditure, the Navy 29%, and the Air Force 48%. The trend over the years indicates that the Air
Force has increased its share and cut into the budgets of other forces over the years. All three
divisions expenditures have grown rapidly along with the total defence budget.

Precedents show that developing technology is the key

Looming threats from neighbors and the reality of its obsolete military equipment have
forced India to step up its modernization efforts. However, the domestic defence industry is
unable to keep up with the huge demand and does not possess the technology required to
manufacture complex military equipment needed by defence forces. Therefore, India has had
to rely heavily on imports to meet as much as 70% of its procurement needs. Despite this, the
Ministry of Defence has made it clear that it wants to pursue indigenization in the long term
and eventually achieve self-sufficiency in military production. India is not the first nation to
face such a daunting task. Other countries have succeeded in developing and transforming
their defence industries. The common catalyst is technology.
In all of these cases, the key catalyst to the industrys progress was developing technological
capability in defence systems. Without it, these nations would still largely rely on imports for
complex military equipment. Each went about this in a different way: Israel worked its way around
arms embargoes to procure key technologies, Brazil absorbed technology through joint ventures
with foreign contractors, and South Korea invested heavily in R&D and its infrastructure from the
very start. China has also transformed itself into a largely indigenously equipped military because of
its emphasis on R&D. Due to an official roadmap for science & technology, China jumped from a
global innovativeness ranking of 24 in 2004 to 6 in 2009. Its defence industrys innovativeness also
saw vast improvement. In 1998, it had filed for 313 patents whereas in 2013 the same statistic had
gone up to 15000 patents.
Countries in similar positions to India include Turkey, Peru, Chile, and Korea. Turkey, realizing the
importance of technological capability in long-term self-sufficiency, is investing heavily in R&D. In
2012 it invested USD 600 mn, up 32% YoY. This emphasis on R&D is already paying dividends: the
domestic defence industry accounted for more than half of procurement spending in 2012 of
around $4bn. Indias R&D spending is dismal compared to Turkeys. It spends roughly the same as
Turkey on R&D, but has a procurement budget more than three times larger and a GDP more than
two times larger. Clearly if India wishes to develop a more sophisticated defence industry, it will
have to focus on advancing technological capability by 1) investing larger amounts in R&D and 2)
pushing for ToT in defence procurement deals.
Israel
Background on domestic defence industry
In 1960s, escalating conflicts with its Arab neighbors, combined with arms embargoes and broken
agreements by foreign suppliers forced Israel to begin its initial indigenization efforts. Israel soon
realized that financial and technological constraints made immediate self-sufficiency in military
equipment impossible. The government then pursued a two-pronged strategy: it continued to
purchase whatever it could from foreign sources but also invested heavily in developing its defence
industry, primarily in R&D and infrastructure. Acquiring the knowledge and technology to
manufacture complex military equipment and systems was crucial. Because of the ongoing arms
embargoes, Israel had to resort to smuggling, reverse-engineering and global networks to acquire
the expertise needed for the development of these technologies. By the 1980s, Israel had a
sophisticated defence industry that was able to capture significant revenues through exports to
Iran, South Africa, China, Singapore, and Chile. Incidentally, these revenues helped finance new R&D
development during a period of budget cuts that would have otherwise eaten into the R&D
component. India needs an institution like SIBAT, Israel to promote indigenized products in the
defence sector
Private firms success in Israel

By the 1990s, private firms were winning a larger share of the Ministry of Defences contracts. This
resulted in the Mandatory Tender Law, which established a competitive bidding system for all MoD
contracts. This made the tender process more transparent and subsequently led to greater private
involvement in government projects. At the beginning of the 21st century, private firms accounted
for 33% of domestic defence production in a country that was once dominated by the public sector.
The next few years saw the privatization of several public defence companies and the merging of
many private defence firms. It is important to note that in Israel major cuts in the defence budget
34
forced most private firms to diversify and rely more on foreign clients. They engaged in joint
ventures and acquisitions to secure footholds in overseas markets, which now account for an
astonishing 80% of revenues. The Defence Ministry of Israel stated that the sector racked up sales of
USD 7.4 bn in 2012, (See Exhibit No 55). Most of the sales were by Israel's four biggest Defence
companies, IAI, Elbit, Rafael and IMI.
Brazil
Brazil began focusing on military industrialization in the late 1960s. This was not driven by military
threats in the traditional sense. Rather, Brazils leaders believed that the growth of the military
industry would have the added benefit of stimulating development in the civilian industrial sector
as well. This in turn would advance the countrys technological position and help it become one of
the leaders in the global economy. Brazils main pioneer in indigenous defence production,
aeronautics major Embraer Corporation, was established in 1969 and it started absorbing foreign
technologies immediately to promote indigenization. Most of these technology transfers came as a
package within Brazils offset deals. Embraer effectively used the extensive industrial base that
already existed in the country to efficiently and cheaply produce equipment.
Focus on technology acquisition

Historically, the countrys leaders have not put as much emphasis on balancing the import-export
ratio as they have on technological development through transfer agreements, joint ventures, and
collaboration with foreign contractors. Global arms producers found Brazils defence industry very
attractive because of cheap labor, abundant raw material supply, and governmental support
through accommodative policies and heavy investments in the countrys infrastructure. Because of
these dynamics, Brazil transformed from a conventional developing country with heavy defence
imports to one of the top 10 arms exporters in the world by the 1980s. Brazil has a relatively small
procurement budget so its industry now relies on exports for most of its turnover. Its early actions in
acquiring the latest technologies and establishing partnerships with key players have helped Brazil
develop an autonomous technological capability to the extent that it participates in international
collaborative projects for design/development of advanced military equipment.
South Korea
Until the mid 1960s, Korea depended completely on military aid and imports from the United States
to meet its defence procurement needs. The Ministry of Defence soon took action and set up the
Defence Procurement Agency in 1971 as the countrys first integrated acquisition body for the
defence forces. Korea began weapons production for the army in 1971 when the Ministry of
Defence built an assembly plant to put together Colt M-16 rifles designed by long-time partner
United States. By the 1990s, Korea possessed one of the largest defence industries in the world and
domestic procurement was about 70 percent. It spent more than USD14 bn per year on defencerelated activities. The majority of weapons systems production was concentrated in a few of the
countrys large corporations, which had also taken the lead in research and development of their
products. These companies had by this time taken the responsibility to enhance Koreas
technological capabilities in defence production. They outsourced and subcontracted much of their
production to smaller companies, who continued to play a vital role in the industry.
MoD is stressing the importance of R&D and ToT

Currently, Korea is in the process of modernizing its defence forces. A plan developed in 2006 put a
large emphasis on research and development, and allocated 20 percent of arms buildup
expenditures to improving domestic defence technology as well as defence industry development.
R&D currently accounts for more than 3.2% of GDP, significantly higher than the worlds average of
2%. The Ministry of Defence realizes the tradeoff between cost-effective foreign acquisition and
time-consuming indigenous development, but is trying to solve this problem by demanding a high
degree of ToT and offsets in defence contracts. During purchasing decisions, special consideration is
given to contractors who demonstrate a high level of cooperation in technology transfer and
offsets.
35
Indian Space Research Organization

Key stimulus for ISRO was lack of international cooperation
Perhaps a more relevant precedent than examples in other countries is the development of the
space industry in India and its successful attempt at indigenization. It was first established in 1969
with the primary objective of developing technologies and applying them for the use of Indias
military or various domestic industries such as agriculture and engineering. Since inception, ISRO
has not had the luxury of collaboration with the worlds leading space programs because of
sanctions and shaky diplomatic relations. As such, self-sufficiency in space technology was never
just a way to cut long-term costs but was the only way to take part in the space race. These
embargoes proved to be a strong incentive and India immediately began developing a
sophisticated infrastructure to enhance its capabilities.
Space-Industry partnership has been vital

The high level of indigenization would not have been possible without ISROs willingness to transfer
technologies that it developed to the Indian industry. To date, ISRO has participated in 294
technology transfer agreements that have benefitted Indian companies. ISRO has a very favorable
reputation in the industry not only as a cooperative but also as an efficient government
organization. As a direct result of this, ISRO has now developed into one of the six most advanced
space research organizations in the world, in the company of the United States NASA, Russias RKA,
Chinas CNSA, Europes ESA, and Japans JAXA.
ISRO to continue R&D and look beyond domestic needs

The ISRO Sponsored Research Programme (RESPOND) will maintain its support of research and
development projects, educational programmes, and other scientific activities at the academic
institutions and autonomous R&D laboratories in the country. During 2010 itself, ISRO formed 24
new projects and renewed 50 ongoing projects at six different Space Technology Cells. Although
the industry is already fairly sophisticated, ISRO realizes that the only way to maintain its
technological position is to continue to invest in and encourage R&D around the country. India has
become self-sufficient in the space sector and is looking to become a supplier for international
needs. Developing countries are already approaching ISRO to help them build up their space
capabilities through consulting and training. ISRO is also planning a venture into the launch vehicle
market, targeting a share of 10% in five years of the total market worth USD2bn.

Indias ability to spend on defence is fairly healthy

Irrespective of Indian Economic Outlook, defence spend should hold up
Regardless of Indias intention to increase its defence budget, its capability to spend needs to be
considered. Once again, the signs are largely positive. Centrum estimates that the Indian economy
wil grow at the rate of 12.5% in nominal terms over the next decade FY14-FY22 (~7% real GDP
growth and ~5% inflation). This assumes that Indian growth will be marginally impacted by a
slowdown in the developed economies. We believe Central tax to GDP ratio (~10% in FY12) will
improve in the coming years on the back of implementation of GST, DTC, increase in tax base, etc.
Together with states' collection, tax revenues of the government account for 16%-17% of GDP. That
compares poorly with the tax-GDP ratios of developed nations as shown in the chart below. So there
remains a lot of room for the country to increase taxes.

Note: This does not include the state level taxes. For India including state level taxes the numbers come to 16-17%.
Indias public debt/GDP is comfortable

Another factor to consider is Indias public debt to GDP ratio, which at 51.8% is on the lower side
when compared to other nations. It ranks 63 out of 155 nations and is lower than the worlds public
debt to GDP of 59.3%. In comparison to its emerging market peers (BRIC), it beats Brazil at 59.2% but
is behind China at 22.4% and Russia at 7.9%. In comparison to developed economies, it is lower than
United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Japan.

as well as with respect to its historical ratios

In comparison to itself, India is sitting just below its average of past 2 decades. In the last few years
there was a steady decline in Indias public debt to GDP ratio. This comparison shows us that India is
not facing any pressures on the debt front and in the historical context is in a safe position.
Exhibit 37: Indias Public Debt to GDP (1991-2013)
Source: Reserve Bank of India
Implications
We are confident that India will continue to expand its defence budget and be able to spend due to
1) Importance placed on defence modernization led by immediate security concerns
2) Healthy public debt to GDP ratio in comparison to other nations and to Indias own history and
3) Strong GDP growth rates (relatively) expected to continue in coming years. We cannot say with
certainty that the trend in under spending will not sustain, but the Indian government will surely
have the fiscal capability to satisfy such high budgets. All in all, funds spent on military procurement
are expected to continue growing for at least the next decade.

Defence Indigenization: An opportunity for domestic players

India has relied heavily on imports to meet its Defence needs
Historically, India has relied heavily on imports to fulfill its military procurement needs. Russia, as an
ally, has supplied by far the largest amount of equipment to India (76% share in the period 20082013) and recently the United States, Israel, and United Kingdom have had success in increasing
their market share. Russias large share has to do with cold-war related alliance and also the control
over export of defence equipment and technology imposed on India post both its nuclear
explosions 1974 and 1998 by the western countries especially the US. Indian domestic firms have
traditionally specialized in manufacturing simpler equipment and arms such as mines and rifles. In
these areas, domestic firms have benefitted through economies of scale and gradually became sole
suppliers.
The defence industry in Russia also went through a significantly painful period post the communist
era and funding of R&D and defence programs was drastically reduced. This possibly had an impact
on the technology that it could provide to India.

Without technology and knowledge, domestic firms stayed away from sophisticated equipment
manufacture, which tends to be a significant part of the budget. Most imports consist of complex
equipment such as tanks, frigates, fighters, and the electronic systems that support them. As such,
the indigenous-import ratio is skewed towards the latter in more recent years, when India has
stepped up its modernization efforts. Currently, India procures 70% of its military equipment
through imports and 30% through domestic firms. The MoD has set a target of 70% indigenous
procurement by the end of this decade.

Self-sufficiency was an early goal but private sector was kept out and
technology transfers denied.
After achieving independence in 1947, The Industrial Policy Resolution of 1948 was drafted,
announcing that defence was among a range of sectors in which the public sector would be the
main source of production and manufacturing. The government revised the policy in 1956 and
stated explicitly that the private sector will not be involved in munitions, aircraft, and shipbuilding
industries. However when the need arose private sector contributed discretely to critical defence
manufacturing prior to 2001 (formal opening up of defence sector for private participation). The
participation of Private sector in Indias defence sector had commendable precedents. The
involvement of TATA Power SED in building Samyukta Indias first major Electronic Warfare system
and L&Ts contribution to the nuclear submarine programme are noteworthy examples. The delivery
capability and maturity of Tata Power SED was recognized by the government issuing a Notification
which referred the company as a Gazetted Work Centre for the Samyukta. Similarly, L&Ts
engagement in realizing weapon systems across a range of projects under Integrated Guided Missile
Development Program and in-house development of hull construction and integration
technologies for submarines, gave it an opportunity to participate in building INS Arihant Indias
first nuclear submarine despite severe sanctions.
o To boost indigenous manufacturing, the government built more than thirty ordnance factories
and eight Defence Public Sector Undertakings, which operate directly under the Ministry of
Defences supervision. A result of the liberalization in the 90s and perhaps also realizing that
domestic defence production had not progressed very far, the government opened up private
participation in the industry in 2001 to 100% with FDI up to 26%. The Finance Bill - 2014-15 has
proposed a composite cap of 49 percent (FDI and FII) through the Foreign Investment
Promotion Board (FIPB) route with full Indian management and control. In the interim period
major investments have been made by Indian private sector to create defence production
facilities. By one estimate the Industry invested > 20,000 Cr in the past decade on creating new
facilities.
41
Reducing imports is in Indias benefit

An often-overlooked benefit of reducing the reliance on defence imports is the positive impact such
an outcome has on the Indian economy and its impact on industrial base. In its 2005 report on
defence acquisition, the Vijay Kelkar Committee conducted this analysis. Just 25% reduction on
foreign dependence will lessen foreign exchange outgo by Rs85 bn, create 120 thousand new jobs,
and boost manufacturing GDP growth by 8%. This report may be old and the exact numbers now
may be different, but the same principles still apply.
70% indigenous production still far fetched

The Ministry of Defences target for indigenous procurement has been 70% for some time now,
having stated in 2001 that this goal was to be reached by 2010. Clearly, the numbers have been
significantly below expectations. The 70:30 ratio continues to be the governments objective but
now this has to be achieved by the end of the current decade. We at Centrum believe that the
indigenous industry will bridge that gap somewhat in the coming years (we expect indigenization
levels of 50% by FY22). This will be driven by 1) Favorable policy-making for domestic production 2)
Evidence of domestic private sector interest in entering the industry 3) Evidence of foreign
contractor interest in joint venture agreements.
~$68bn opportunity for private players in India from FY14-FY22

Assuming the market share of the private sector inches towards 70% figure from current 50% in the
domestic market, we believe the cumulative revenues earned by the private sector will be $68bn.
This opportunity is on the assumption that the indigenous content would be 50% by FY22. The
private sector should see an increase in its participation in the defence market in coming years,
primarily due to two factors. One, the government has created an increasingly favorable policyenvironment for private firms, taking several concrete steps to level the playing field between them
and DPSUs. The JVs that it has entered into with foreign partners will put them on a stronger footing
with respect to DPSUs.

Government will be a large client for private sector

DPSUs and ordnance factories will continue to outsource part of their production (25% and 35%
respectively) to the private sector but the change will be that major contribution to revenues will be
direct government orders. Until now the opposite has been true but with government support and
introduction of an open competitive bidding process for tenders, the private sector will reverse that
ratio.
Self-reliance A Reality Check
India severely lacks credible major military inventory item/platform that can be called truly Indian
designed and manufactured. The track-record in the aviation industry is even bleaker, India still does
not design and manufacture its own fighter aircraft, a trainer or even a transport plane. Yes,
currently the Tejas light combat aircraft and the Dhruv helicopters produced by the DRDO are the
lone silver linings though the last lap for these too is yet to be completed. In contrast to the other
two services, the Indian Navy, being the first off the block, has had greater success in indigenisation
and to an extent even in exports - but this is only relative.
Self-reliance and greater indigenisation can happen only with
Greater Indian technology and products

Simpler licensing process to enable wider participation from Indian industries
Create national resources and centres of excellence to academia and industry to test
ideas and products
Encourage armed forced to be a partner and stake holder in indigenisation process
Ministerial, Secretarial Delegation and Defence Attachs promote Indian products at
international trade forums
43
Exports would be a big growth driver in the future

We believe exports (hitherto negligible) will be a key long-term growth driver (offset
opportunity to begin with but outsourcing later on). We believe fiscal constraints in
developed markets over the next 10-15 years will put defence spending under pressure. US is
likely to see defence spending cuts of $450bn-$1.1trn over the decade. With intensifying
competition between US and European systems integrators, price pressures are a certainty. In
the past 2-3 years we have seen an explosion in partnerships (JVs and MOUs) between Indian
and global players (likely due to relaxation of controls on export of defence technology by the
US and other countries). These partnerships will exploit offset and indigenization related
demand, near term. But these would also set the stage for India becoming a critical part of the
supply chain of global players for components and sub-assemblies, driving export growth,
long term. There is evidence to show that such a move is already on. We believe India has
some of the basic ingredients (large and relatively low cost engineering talent pool, comfort
of western nations with India from a geo-political perspective) to deliver on this opportunity
but will have to significantly improve on some others (technology, lack of a defence
manufacturing ecosystem, etc). Post 15-20 year long learning curve we expect Indian
companies to move up the value chain to become independent systems integrators in their
own right or be part of significant consortia. India needs an institution like SIBAT, Israel to
promote indigenized products in the Defence Sector
Export Data analysis

Post analyzing the data available in the public domain, we see that
x Export performance has been dismal with contribution of just 0.02% of the global arms transfer
in 2012. It had reached a high of 0.12% in the year 2006
x Export has been generally of second hand equipment and is mainly seen as inventory clearance
Destination of most exports are neighboring countries like SriLanka, Nepal, Maldives, Myanmar, etc.
Honble Prime Ministers while inaugurating INS Vikramaditya, stressed that India should not only
become self-reliant but also provide them (defence equipment). Small countries should feel secure
that they have India-produced defence equipment
Aggressively Marketing Make In India Concept To The World
The current focus as envisaged in recent statements and policy initiatives of government has
focused on the desire of not just greater indigenisation or India as a favorable manufacturing hub,
but also India as exporting defence equipment and solutions to global market. This is evident with
the announcement of vison Make in India by Honble PM on September 25, 2014 followed by
workshop on Dec 29, 2014. We already see an aggression across various especially on the
manufacturing space to promote Make In India to the world players.

Also in the aerospace sector, with the successful launch of Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) at a cost of
Rs 4.5bn, India showcased its low cost technological might. The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)
and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) which were used to launch these satellites
have now come into focus and there is a huge potential to export these Indian made equipment
due its effectiveness and low cost.
44
Defence budgets are about to be crunched 3 years into the financial crisis
As can be seen in Exhibit 46, since 2010, global defence spending has witnessed de-growth in the
developed world and especially the US. This was to impart fiscal stimulus to the economies when
crisis hit first in 2008. It held up till 2010 due to Afghanistan and Iraq involvement. Between 2008
and 2012, fiscal deficits and the public debt/ GDP ratios of the western nations rose to unsustainable
levels. These countries have cut down on spending to bring their fiscal deficits and Debt/GDP
numbers under control. Pressure on defence spending accelerated and this is unlikely be a shortterm phenomenon. We believe it will continue for the next decade. The developed countries will
take a significant amount of time to reach the same Debt/GDP levels that they had in 2007 before
the crisis.

Need to emphasise Look Within Policy

Lack of defence exports is because most equipment used by the Indian armed forces have not been
designed and developed in India. The armed forces of a country are the best marketing agency of its
own defence equipment. India can take a cue from China which has focussed on indigenous
defence production rather than imports. Consequently, today it has become the fastest growing
arms exporter worldwide. The lack of a national strategy/policy for promoting defence exports is
hampering domestic defence sales. A proactive defence export policy drafted in close collaboration
with various stakeholders and led by the armed forces could be an effective long term strategy to
promote defence exports for India. India should have an institution like SIBAT, Israel to promote
indigenised products.

US to see defence cuts of $450bn-$1.1trn over the next decade: The US spends by far the most
on defence (~50% of the top ten country spends and ~39% of the overall global spend). Thus, any
reduction in US defence budget will have a disproportionally high impact on global spends. On
March1, 2013, the Budget Control Act sequestration took effect including a US$37 billion reduction
in defence spend, and US$52 billion of expected reduction annually for the next nine years. At the
time of writing the US House and Senate Budget negotiators reached agreement on a budget deal
that would mitigate sequestration impacts on military and domestic spending over the next two
years, eliminating US$63 billion in across the board domestic and military cuts through
September30, 2015.
Notwithstanding this, defence contractors have already begun to feel the impact of sequestration.
In 2012 the top 20 US defence contractors experienced 3.3% decline in revenue. This trend is
expected to continue in the future. With National Defence Authorization act of 2014 signed, it is
defence budget could be cut by estimated US$22 billion in 2014 which will cut US defence
contractor revenues further.
Deep cuts in US defence spending will mean that it will have to cut back on its weapon acquisition
plans significantly. It could also have significant geopolitical implications as the US may likely launch
military campaigns only after much deliberation. Besides it is likely to squeeze as much out of the
defence dollar spent leading to both volume and price pressures for global defence systems
integrators.
The emerging scenario to work to Indias advantage: While we believe most defence contractors
globally will be hit by US spending cuts, we believe it is likely to be a boon for India. We believe
heavy competitive pressures will likely lead to lower pricing by systems integrators forcing them to
46
outsource to low cost destinations to maintain margins and keep market shares. Besides, they are
likely to be far more flexible in their approach with regard to JVs and Transfer of Technology
requests from India. The other large spender on weaponry, China is not a market global defence
systems integrators can tap into as US and European firms have been banned from selling weapons
to China since the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown. Therefore, both the Indian government and
private sector players will have considerable bargaining power with respect to US contractors.
Restructuring could lead to acquisition opportunities of Indian companies: As defence
spending comes under pressure we believe global companies will likely diversify their core area of
operation and look at other adjacent spaces where spending is intact or is growing. We therefore
see them sell-off their so called non-core parts of the organization.
Exhibit 48: Stress on defence spending in developed markets visible already

Country
Budget cuts Anecdotal evidences
France
The defense ministry said in April13 that 34,000 jobs would be cut over six years, but its overall budget would
remain largely static, steering clear of drastic spending cuts after military officials and lawmakers said that
would reduce France's ability to counter global security threats
Germany
In its 2014 budget, the German government is planning to cut spending by 6bn to avoid taking on any new
debt.
Italy
Italy aims to reduce the number of military personnel by about 16 percent to 150,000 and civil staff by about
a third to 20,000 by 2024. In 2013, Italy saved as much as 5 billion euros ($6.6 billion) by cutting defense
spending as the recession-hit country needs to tame its public finances and cannot raise taxes further
Spain
Spain's defence budget is to be trimmed again in 2014, despite the government's hopes that the country will
return to economic growth next year. Spending on the military will drop by 3.2% to EUR5.74 billion (USD7.77
billion), according to figures announced on 30 September13

Drivers of Exports: Public Private Partnership to jointly work on products for

export market
We suggest the government to enable policy framework for the Indian defence manufacturers to
create PPP style structure for export markets.
For Example: We suggest government create a policy framework for weapon launchers: Currently,
weapon launchers are being manufactured by the Indian industry players. However, ammunitions
are being manufactured by Ordnance Factory Boards (OFBs). Test beds are also required which can
be provided on PPP basis. There is a need to create an cohesive environment wherein various
suppliers (as mentioned above) work together to drive defence export growth.

Global Integrator related outsourcing to pick up in the long term

With intensifying competition between US and European systems integrators and defence
spending in developed markets under pressure, price pressures are a certainty for global
systems integrators. This sets the stage for India to become a critical part of the supply chain
of global players for components and sub-assemblies, driving export growth, long term.
There is evidence to show that such a move is already on. We believe India has some of the
basic ingredients (large and relatively low cost engineering talent pool, comfort of western
nations with India from a geo-political sense) to deliver on this opportunity but will have to
significantly improve on some others (technology, lack of a defence manufacturing
ecosystem, etc).
Defence exports from India have not been too encouraging over the last decade due to lack of
technologically superior products (see Exhibit 56). While substantial standalone export revenues
from Indian companies be they PSUs or Private companies is still years away (except for those in
the IT services space who are serving defence companies) we believe offset related exports and
global systems integrators related outsourcing will be significant drivers.
We believe that India has advantages similar to the ones that helped India become a force in IT
services, BPO, Pharma and Auto. There is reasonable quality talent in large numbers at significantly
lower than developed market costs. Also we believe that learning from the other three sectors will
help Indian industry as India is higher up the learning curve, as a nation. The experience of IT service
BPOs indicate that global systems integrators and captives are exploiting the offshore option far
more than they did in FY01 (see Exhibits 52-53). In areas like engineering services which is critical
to Aerospace and Defence outsourcing, the non-Indian component is far larger as seen in Exhibit 54
The experience in the Auto sector where India is gradually becoming the small car hub for global
manufacturers, indicates that it has the frugal manufacturing and engineering prowess that can be
of use in the defence field too. This is highlighted in the section on the Auto industry experience on
page 45
Based on anecdotal and media articles it is clear that global systems integrators have started feeling
the pain and are outsourcing to low cost destinations.
Our total exports number for FY22 is based on an estimate of 3.75% of the non-India defence capex
of the world. We expect the world spend to contract 1% /pa over this time-frame due to reduced
spending by developed nations. Currently the world spend is $1.7trn and we believe this number
will come down to $1.55trn by FY22. We have assumed 3.75% as this represents half the market
share that the Indian IT services industry currently commands in the global market.
One of the key examples as far as exports are concerned is to look at Israel, its defence exports
amounted to $7.4 billion in 2012. The export volume has increased at CAGR of 10% during the
period 1964 to 2012.

We believe India will likely be far more cost competitive than Israel though it may not have the same
kind of relationship that Israel has with the US or have the same level of technological competence

Exhibit 57: Global Defence companies are cutting back and restructuring likely a beginning
Company
Headcount reduction - Anecdotal evidence
Lockheed Martin
Defense contractor Lockheed Martin is cutting 4,000 jobs and closing four plants, blaming a decline in
U.S. government spending for the cuts.
Since 2008, the company has cut 30,000 positions, or about 20% of its global staff, reducing total
employment to 116,000.
Northrop
Grumman
Northrop Grumman Corp. has asked employees at its Aerospace Systems sector to participate in a
voluntary reduction-in-force program to cut costs in light of defence budget uncertainties and to
meet the challenges of what will be a demanding 2014.
BAE Systems
BAE Systems is cutting 1,775 jobs and ending 500-years of shipbuilding history in Portsmouth as part
of a restructuring of its naval business to cope with a declining workload.
Saab
Saab AB (SAABB), the Swedish maker of Gripen fighter jets, said it will try to shift as many as 175
employees from its defense-electronics unit to other positions in the face of lower military spending.
Saab will reduce defense-electronics staffing at its Gothenburg facility by 15% of the total workforce.
EADS Cassidian
Unit
European Aeronautic, Defence & Space Co. (EAD) plans to trim 5,800 jobs, marking the steepest cuts in
about five years as the parent of Airbus SAS combines space and defense units left reeling from
slack government spending. The job eliminations, which represent 4 percent of the total and exceed
analyst estimates, are the first major cuts since 2007, when the Airbus civil-aircraft unit began
eliminating 10,000 jobs to improve efficiency.
Finmeccanica
SpAs Alenia
Aeronautica unit
Finmeccanica said it would sell 1 billion, or $1.4 billion, in assets and cut jobs, overhaul production
and streamline supply lines to reduce costs.

We believe the basic strength of India stems from the large availability of technical talent. While
questions have been raised often about the employability of this talent, sheer numbers ensure that
even post a weeding out process, there are large numbers.

Exhibit 66A indicates that India offers cost advantages that vary in magnitude across the value
chain. Respondents to the survey indicated that the savings are highest for IT and systems
implementation activities in the value chain. Cost savings could range between 15 to 25 percent in
manufacturing, depending on the type of component. These savings are expected in labour
intensive processes with import of raw materials. In fact, in some cases local sourcing of raw
materials / parts can increase the cost savings by an additional 10 to 20 percent.
However, anecdotal evidence indicates that many of these companies have already been working
with Indian IT services players for years now. Incrementally we believe any pain that the global
customers would feel will likely translate into pricing pressure for the Indian IT services providers.
However, we believe manufacturing related outsourcing would likely be large in the days ahead.
The opportunity is likely much larger as it constitutes a much larger component of cost structure
than do IT systems. Besides, while China may be the hub of low cost manufacturing globally,
considering sensitive nature of the work in defence sector, more of this is likely to flow to India.

Growth In Auto & Auto Ancillaries Export Gives Us Confidence On A

Long Term Environment Being Created For Defence Components
Like what has India achieved in the Auto sector where India is fast emerging as the major export
centre for Cars and Motorcycles globally, we believe that there are several factors that would make
India a competitive destination for defence exports irrespective of fulfilling its domestic
requirement. Important factors that we believe would drive this are product development
capabilities, availability of skilled manpower, high quality standards coupled with potential
domestic and exports demand (as highlighted earlier like spending cuts in developed countries)
across the defence sector.

We believe Automobile manufacturing requires some of the same skill-sets as required in Defence
manufacturing (but at a significantly lower complexity). The Indian auto export story is a story that
the defence sector can emulate. As can be seen in Exhibit 66, India has emerged as the small car
hub for the world over the last one decade. And many global auto majors are now using India as the
base for their manufacturing.

Joint venture/co-production activity has stepped up recently

Foreign contractors are cognizant of Indias massive modernization plan and the opportunities it
presents. Although many have been vocal on the negatives of 49% FDI limit, that has not stopped
them from securing their places in the Indian Armed Forces acquisition plans. News regarding
newly formed JVs and co-production agreements continues to come out weekly, a positive sign for
Indian companies still looking to enter the lucrative defence market. Exhibit 69 shows some
examples of recent partnerships between domestic companies and foreign contractors.

Offsets A key driver of exports growth in near term

Offset agreements are a popular tool used by governments around the world when they engage in
large military procurement deals with foreign Defence manufacturers. An offset is essentially an
additional compensation given to a buyer by a seller. In relation to Defence procurement, this
means that foreign contractors are required to fulfill certain offset obligations (in the form of FDI or
purchase of domestically manufactured products) when they supply arms to a country.
Offset policies differ by country in terms of required levels, thresholds, eligible products/services,
and available methods. The Indian Ministry of Defence (MoD) approved offsets guidelines in 2005
and the implementation process began after their inclusion in DPP-2006. Offset obligations in India
vary depending upon the acquisition category.
In India, Defence Offsets was initiated on account of Kelkar Committee Recommendation to
leverage buy-in power of the Defence Industrial Base. The primary objective of Defence Offsets is to
become self-reliant by developing Fledging Defence Industry in to Military Industrial Complex
through leveraging capital acquisitions
Fostering development of internationally competitive enterprises
Augmenting capacity in Design and R&D related to defence products & services
Encouraging development of synergistic sectors like civil aerospace and internal security
Total offset mandated over 12th Plan period is expected to reach Rs1.2tn3 to executed over sunset
period of Contract Period + 2 years, can safely assume period of 5 to 8 years.
Unfortunately, offset obligations are estimated to indirectly increase the acquisition costs of defence
equipment by 10%-15% on average. The policy provides incentives to the suppliers through offset
banking credits. If a supplier facilitates offset more than the requirements, the accruing credits may
be carried forward for seven years from the approved date.
Exhibit 70 sums up the current acquisition structure and the offset obligations associated with each
scenario.

Offsets generated so far

The MoD reported that between 2007 and 2012, India handed out 19 defence contracts worth
about $15 billion to foreign contractors such as Boeing, Dassault, Lockheed Martin, etc. These deals
have created offset opportunities of $4.5 billion for domestic companies in both public and private
sectors. As per Q Tech Synergy, as on 2012, there are offset contracts worth $8 billion at various
stages of implementation

Indias offset policy is conservative in comparison to others

A cursory examination of other countries offset policies shows that Indias threshold (USD 50 mn /
INR 3bn) and minimum offset percentage (30%) is conservative. India does not even employ the use
of multipliers in their offset obligations except in special cases like (transfer of advanced technology
by DRDO OR involvement of MSME)
The United States does not endorse the use of offset within its own borders but its companies have
fulfilled offset obligations when dealing with other countries, so there should be no danger for India
of offset arguments in dealings with the US. Most of the developing countries allow indirect offsets
and more critically, emphasize ToT in the offset requirements. Brazil and Israel are two examples of
countries that have benefitted from the effective implementation of ToT in their offset policies.

Offsets Facts Presented Thorough Charts

With the strong lobbying of various international players in the Aerospace & Defence segment, the
Ministry of Defence has conceded to their demands of including Civil Aviation in to offset
obligation. We believe, these steps have diluted the overall purpose of offsets which had the basic
intention of developing the Indian Defence Sector.
Some of the areas which are of concern, which have diluted the overall purpose of developing India
as a credible competitor for global markets, are:
Including parts and components manufacturer for pure Civil Aviation platforms does not fit
with the objective of offset and hence not defence offsets.
Taxes and duties at the hands of Indian Manufacturers as Indian Offset Partner eat in to the
offset volume
30% Offsets in effect become 21%
As per latest policy guidelines a minimum of 70% offsets are to be manufacturing +

maintenance domains
Restricting the offset multipliers of up to 1.5x for MSMEs and SMEs only would help the
OEMs to keep the Indian Defence Industry restricted to component, sub-assembly level
work, low end manufacturing and technology area, fulfilling foreign OEMs agenda
By not addressing the matter of Taxes and Duties on offsets in the form of system
integration in India, the country is restricting to Component & sub-system production
instead of moving up the value chain through system integration
Overall cap on penalty for non fulfillment of offset obligation of 20% of the total offset
obligations during the period of the main procurement contract and No cap post that
should be reasonably modified to include benefits to MoD in terms of increased offset
obligation, enhanced Performance Bank Guarantees, etc
The effects of the above has made the self-reliance index in defence sector to drop from 40%
to 36% since offsets were mandated on the Buy (Global) and Buy & Make (Global) category
segments. Indian industry has been opposing the dilution of offsets all levels.

Offsets could be a $44bn opportunity over FY14-FY22

As per a Working Group Report on Defence published in April 2012 contracts worth about Rs. 14
billion have been concluded so far. Apart from this number, there are offsets contracts worth $12
billion under various stage of implementation which would be awarded in the near future.
We believe there is $44bn opportunity in defence offsets that is likely to be offered during the FY14FY22 time frame. This is a conservative estimate (based on an 30% offset obligation), as some large
contracts such as the $11bn MMRCA have offset requirements of 50%. This obviously presents an
immense opportunity for domestic firms through added investment and demand. Indian firms will
also have the added benefit of interacting with experienced foreign defence companies and may
even acquire new technologies through these partnerships.

FICCI views on the Defence Offset Guidelines published in the year 2012
In the year 2012, The Defence Acquisition Council chaired by the erstwhile Defence Minister, Mr A K
Antony had cleared the new Defence Offset Guidelines on April 2, 2012. FICCI views on the salient
features of the revised offset policy are as given below:
The objective of Defence Offsets has been spelt out clearly in the revised policy: The key
objective of the Defence Offset Policy is to leverage capital acquisitions to develop Indian
defence industry by (i) fostering development of internationally competitive enterprises, (ii)
augmenting capacity for Research, Design and Development related to defence products and
services and (iii) encouraging development of synergistic sectors like civil aerospace and
internal security.
FICCI: Welcomes the intent and stated key objectives towards creating manufacturing base and
augmenting R&D related to defence products and services. Towards this, R&D/technology
acquisition by industry should also be made offset-able. Regarding the third stated objective of civilaviation and internal security as offsets, both of these are wide-ambit areas and if included in their
entirety, then offsets will deviate from the policys first two objectives. It is recommended that only
the capital acquisitions in selected areas of these sectors which have applicability for Defence &
Aerospace alone should qualify for Offsets.
Distinction has been made between equity and non-equity route i.e. investment in kind by
OEMs for discharge of offset obligations.
FICCI: Investment-in-kind as Direct Foreign Investment (DFI) with private sector companies should
qualify for Offsets. This will enable creation of Defence Industrial Base leading to the realisation of
self-reliance in Defence.
If non equity is treated as Debt and paid back under FEMA what happens to offset credit given?
The revised policy recognizes TOT as eligible for discharge of offset obligations. Investment in
Kind in terms of TOT must cover all documentation, training and consultancy required for full
TOT (civil infrastructure and equipment and excluded). The TOT should be provided without
license fee and there should be no restriction on domestic production, sale or export. The offset
credit for TOT shall be 10% of the value of buyback by the OEM during the period of the offset
contract, to the extent of value addition in India.
FICCI: The decision of recognizing ToT as Offsets should have an in-built mechanism for ensuring
that valuation of ToT is done judiciously to prevent overpricing of ToT by the OEMs. Sub/systems,
components must be traced to determine true value of ToT. ToT without any License Fee and
unrestricted export potential is truly a welcome step. True value addition in India alone should be
given Offset credits.
Technology Acquisition by DRDO for a list of specified technologies will be treated as an eligible
Offset with a multiplier up to 3.
FICCI: DPP has by far the most liberal Offset regime of a benign 30% minimum offsets. Multipliers, if
being considered at all, should be linked with a corresponding increase in the applicable minimum
applicable percentage for Offsets, which should be made 70%, which is incidentally the Global
average also. Further, MoD should encourage acquisition of technologies by Indian Defence
Industrial base by extending the benefit of offsets applicability to the entire defence industry,
academia and other R&D institutes as well, rather than restricting it to only the DRDOs . FICCI
recommends that there should be an independent body for technology acquisition with academics,
Department of S&T and industry chambers as well.
It has already been decided to allow Tier-I sub-vendors under the main procurement contract to
discharge part of the offset obligations on behalf of the main vendor. However, the overall
responsibility for discharge of offset obligations shall rest solely on the main vendor.
FICCI: This is a good provision and would benefit the MSME and SMEs to get integrally integrated
with the entire offsets value chain. This should be expended to Tier III also but with clear operational
guidelines as to how the Tier II & Tier III vendors will be nominated by OEM at the time of main bid
submission. There is a need to put in place an institutional mechanism for monitoring the tierised
vendors and their IOPs as well.
67
x
x
x
x
Under the revised guidelines, the agreement between the OEM/vendor/Tier-I sub-vendor and
the Indian Offset Partner (IOP) shall be subject to the laws of India.
FICCI: Welcomes this
In the earlier policy, offset obligations have to be discharged during the period co-terminus
with the main procurement contract. The revised guidelines allow offset obligations to be
discharged within a timeframe that can extend beyond the period of the main procurement
contract by a maximum period of two years.
FICCI: After extensive lobbying by the OEMs, DPP 2008 introduced the Sun-rise and Sun-set clauses
for implementing the Offset obligations by the OEMs. However, this did not result in any enhanced
offsets activity by the OEMs on ground. Therefore, the decision for relaxing the co-terminus clause
further was not really necessary as the period of Sunrise and Sunset offset clauses have also been
increased from 2 yrs to 7 yrs.
Under the existing guidelines, banked offset credits were valid for a period of two years. The
period of validity has been increased to seven years under the revised guidelines.
FICCI: Welcome step
In the discharged of offset obligations relating to direct export, FDI, TOT or investment in kind
in Indian enterprises through non-equity route, a multiplier of 1.50 will be permitted where
Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises are IOPs. The Monetary limits specified by the Department
of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Government of India shall be applicable for
identification of MSMEs.
FICCI: Strongly objects to only SMEs and MSMEs being included in this clause. For the stated objective
of the Offset policy in the first clause to be met (that is to create internationally competitive
enterprises, augmenting capacity for Research, Design and Development related to defence
products and services and encouraging development of synergistic sectors like civil aerospace and
internal security) then it is required that the domestic defence industry should be capable of
undertaking investments in design, development and R&D on its own to attract global OEMs to set
up partnerships.
For any form of partnership JV/Consortium/ LTBA, the local partner would have to make
reasonable investments on its own being 74% equity holder. According to the figures of investment
set by the Indian MSME act, no SME with a capital of Rs 25 lakhs can ever do it or even an MSME with
a capital of up to Rs 5 Crs.
Restricting the offset multipliers of up to 1.5 times only for MSMEs and SMEs would only help the
OEMs to keep the Indian Defence Industry restricted to component, sub-assembly level work, low end
manufacturing and technology area, fulfilling the agenda of foreign OEMs.
Therefore, it is strongly recommended that this clause should be amended to qualify the entire
Indian defence industry to be eligible for offset multiplier for activities such as direct export, FDI, TOT
or investment in kind in Indian enterprises through non-equity route.
As a recommendation all such offset proposals must be specifically approved by a competent body
having academics, industrial bankers, industry chambers, HQIDS, MoD (DP & Acquisition wing),
DRDO etc. All approved proposals must be put on the website with OEM and recipient details.
The overall cap on penalty will be 20% of the total offset obligations during the period of the
main procurement contract. There will be no cap on penalty for failure to implement offset
obligations during the period beyond the main procurement contract, which can extend to a
maximum period of two years.
This placing a cap on penalty should be linked with substantial benefits in return to MoD such as
enhanced PBG, enhanced offset obligation, etc. As a suggestion, each year of delay in offset
obligation should grow by 8% compounded. The main Performance bond ~5 % of the value of the
contract (100%) will not be released and OEM has to give additional performance BG to cover the
defaulted obligation.

Recent Updates on Defence Offsets
69
The new offset guidelines promote investment in micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs)
by applying a multiplier factor of 3.0 to the offset calculations.
It also facilitates technology acquisition from a select list, by DRDO.
The offset discharge banking period is extended to seven years.
Period of execution of offset contracts is now allowed up to two years beyond the period of
main procurement contract.
However, exclusion of services for purposes of value addition in India is a dampener
In a bilateral interaction between US president Barack Obama & then Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh, US reaffirmed that it would grant India the same privileges reserved for its closest allies in
respect of transfer of defence technology, co-production and co-development.
Defence SEZs likely to boost export revenue

Based on the advice of the Kelkar Committee, Indian government opened up the aerospace industry
to the private sector for offset discharge. Following which, private players are partnering with State
governments and foreign partners to set up aerospace special economic zones (SEZs) with a view to
establish Aerospace ecosystems within India. As more Defence SEZs get operational, we expect the
Defence export to pick up as has been the case from other SEZs (see Exhibit 84). The aerospace SEZ
will enable various defence players to set-up shop in India and tap the defence aerospace business
here as well as cater to the export market. The SEZ will also capitalize from the growing defence
offsets market in India besides creating a dedicated MRO in the aerospace SEZ.

While companies are making significant investments, we will see the benefits over the next decade.
Local companies have already executed and will further have joint-ventures with foreign companies
and derive benefits of technology transfer, shift from licensed production to joint design,
development and manufacture. These industry movements indicate that Indian A&D industry is
geared up to capitalize on the offset policy benefits and so are the Engineering Service Providers
(ESPs) who have graduated from mere service providers to partners in manufacturing.

Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) a large opportunity

Global MRO market is a $56bn market (2013) and is expected to grow to $76bn by 2023 (see Exhibit
85-87). With ageing fleet and contracting Defence budgets in developed economies, MRO becomes
increasingly important in the global value chain of A&D Industry. Global experiences suggest that
MROs are not just critical for expanding capacity for new fleet inductions; however, they are more
critical in facilitating life cycle extensions for existing fleet and keeping operational costs in check.
Not surprisingly, OEMs are channelizing more funds towards MRO investments (see Exhibit 85). MRO
constituted 34% of OEMs total investments next only to manufacturing (39%).

India Could Be A Key MRO Player & Needs Immediate Attention

India is conspicuously missing from the value chain due to lack of key MRO suppliers. We believe
India could prove to be an important node in the entire value chain given its growing status as a
Defence customer, superior human resource pool and better IPR protection practices.
We believe Indian players are likely to tie-up with global OEMs to set up MROs most likely in SEZs.
Already a number of players are looking to locate MROs near airports that are either in SEZs or
located near them. With a very large fleet expansion on the anvil, we believe having a large number
of MRO facilities would be critical from an indigenization perspective. It would also lower the cost of
upgrades, life extensions, overhaul and repair that are being hitherto carried out at foreign
locations.
A look at the number of players in this space across Asia indicates that India has really not bothered
to focus much on this issue thus far. Singapore for instance has about 30 players and likely
addresses some of the needs of India as well. While the focus in this report is on military MROs, we
believe the same could be used for Civilian purposes too.

MRO Potential of USD1.2bn by 2020

Though Indian Civil Aviation Sector is expected to grow at a rapid pace considering the latest
numbers of the aircraft being ordered with Airbus & Boeing4, there is a dearth of service oriented
MRO segment which has struggled to benefit much from this growth.
Indian MRO industry is fragmented and lacks large players with an end-to-end services portfolio.
India has a significantly large advantage due to its labor costs which are roughly 40-60% lower than
global MRO hubs. India has the potential to emerge as an MRO hub due to the growing aircraft fleet,
location advantage and availability of technical talent. However, this could not be achieved due to
challenges on taxation, policy and procedural issues, etc . Relatively younger fleet, with an average
age of 5 years, resulted in limited MRO requirements. However, going forward, this is expected to
change once the fleet ages increasing the requirement for MRO services. The MRO Market in India is
currently around USD 700mn and is expected to grow by 9% CAGR to reach USD1.2bn by 2020.
Addressing Concerns On Taxation, Component Movement, etc Would Help

Bring Lost MRO Business of USD450mn Back to India
The Indian MRO industry has not seen the growth it was expected as it faces significant challenges
like un-friendly taxation structure, tedious procedures for import of components, movement of
foreign experts, lack of scale and adequate infrastructure. Not more than 10% of the MRO work for
domestic scheduled carriers is executed in India whereas rest is outsourced to third-party service
providers overseas. Sans Air India, all other Indian carriers depend on MRO facilities located in
locations like Singapore (largest MRO hub in Asia), Dubai, etc. It is estimated that MRO business
worth nearly USD 450mn has been lost to overseas locations in FY13.
We suggest that the government should prioritize resolving issues like taxation, policy and
infrastructure issues in MRO segment to bring back the lost business as India has the potential to be
an MRO hub on account of 1) growing number of aircrafts under service 2) strategic location
advantage 3) rich pool of engineering expertise and 4) lower labor costs. If this issue is not resolved
on an urgent basis, we believe, the loss of employment, revenue, foreign exchange and government
taxes will magnify each year as the aviation sector grows and the existing fleet ages.

73
Inadequate Steps Taken To Address MRO Sector Concerns

Government has taken few & minor steps to address the issues in the MRO segment. However, still
not sufficient to enthuse MRO players and believe, lot more work needs to be done.
Customs Duty Exemption: The existing Customs exemption covers only the parts and testing
equipment for MRO operations and excludes many consumables and tools etc. which are equally
important.
Income Taxation: Aircraft services in India are 20% to 50% expensive than in international hubs,
due to high tax structure. Around 10 to 15 MRO projects, also FDI sponsored, has faced problems on
account of high taxation
Multiples VAT Levies On Same Transaction: Instances are common wherein same transaction is
witnessing multiple VAT levies and at very high tax rates (MRO services are subjected both to VAT of
15% and Service tax at 12.36%). Also, non-availability of credit on these taxes paid at the central or
state level adds additional cost to the final product.
Level Playing Field in VAT Application: Though, airlines are exempted from VAT levy on their
imports meant for self-consumption, it is not the case with MRO service providers for their imports.
This impairs Indias competitiveness in providing fast turnaround to aircrafts.
Rationalisation of Service Tax: Service tax on MROs is levied at the rate of 12.36% in India whereas
no service tax is charged overseas. Service Tax exemption should be provided for MRO activities in
order to provide level playing field to Indian MROs vis-a-vis foreign MROs.
Abolish / Rationalise of Royalty To be paid to AAI & Airports: AAI levies around 13% royalty to
MRO operators making it less competitive in terms of cost structures vis--vis its international
counterparts. This is over and above the rent which is being to the airport owner for using the
facility.

Indian Industry Would Witness 2-3 Prime Integrators In 10 Years

We estimate Indian defence industry size (of Indian corporate revenues PSU and Pvt together) of
$41bn by FY22 would result in development of a fairly sophisticated ecosystem of players. We
expect 2-3 players to develop into a global prime integrator by then. Though, this sort of an
outcome usually takes more than 10 years, we believe, considering the overall developments
around the globe (high priority for India, global de-growth in defence spending, etc) will drive
capability of the Indian players (buying companies overseas, developing it domestically, etc).
Currently we believe some of them can integrate equipment but for simpler pieces of military
hardware and possibly not as mission critical. Obviously there is likely to be a long tail of smaller
ancillary players that would supply to these larger entities.
Good initiatives have been taken by private players like Mahindra & Mahindra, Bharat Forge, Tata
Group, Rolta, etc.
Based on historical trends seen in IT, Auto and Pharma: Just as we have seen in the IT services,
Auto and Pharma sectors, we believe Defence too would surprise us by the pace of change as the
global industry likely goes through a significant process of consolidation and turmoil over the next
10 years. Those that are global leaders currently may not be in business 10 years from now as the
demand side undergoes significant change.
Concentrated industry likely: 10 years down the road we believe the Indian defence industry
structure would likely remain fairly concentrated in the hands of a dozen players PSU and private
companies. Conglomerates that are able to marshal multiple skillsets across their group,
organisations early to address the opportunity would have a head start. The increasing importance
of network-centered warfare and of communications and control technologies in the field of
operations, means these conglomerates that have highly developed skillsets in software
development in the telecom space, embedded systems, engineering design and services, etc have a
head start over their peers. We have reputed players who serve this segment and would not be
difficult for them to cater to defence sector.
Alliances are critical: Key alliance partners and suppliers in order to shorten product life cycles and
reduce time to market for solutions will be critical going forward. With the growth of technology
and costs, contractors are likely to turn increasingly to licensing, collaboration and joint ventures,
thereby stimulating further internationalisation of the industry. In this respect the Tatas, L&T,
Mahindras, Bharat Forge, etc. bring together skillsets in software described above, skillsets in
manufacturing and long experience in sub-contracting and managing large ecosystem of suppliers.

Exhibit 94: Five Forces analysis for the Indian Defence Sector
Barriers to entry to being a player in the defence sector
Technology
The single largest entry barrier. Doing in house R&D will

be time consuming and might not deliver near
term/medium term returns. Other players would win
contracts and become entrenched. The technology has
to be accessed through a foreign JV. Licensing,
collaboration and joint ventures will continue to grow in
importance for the production of major weapons
systems. Investing in R&D is critical for long term viability
of Indian companies. This has to be done judiciously by
re-investing profits.
Regulatory
Significant amount of regulation by the government like

handing out industrial licenses for defence production,
etc
Capital
New players should be able to commit significant

amount of capital to acquire land and set up
manufacturing facilities. Ability to commit capital and
set-up capabilities ahead of demand is critical as that
would attract demand and/or JV partners
Competition
Amongst Indian players
Competition is likely to be relatively less in the coming

decade as size of opportunity is large and market is in a
nascent state. However it is bound to increase as many
Indian players adopt a strategy of diversification across
various arms of defence forces by tying up with multiple
Foreign players through JVs - a strategy which seems
me too. Conglomerates that are able to marshal
multiple skillsets across their group organisations, early
to address the opportunity would have a head start.
Amongst Foreign Players
Competitive intensity is likely to be significant, especially

as these companies are likely to face price and volume
pressures in their traditional/home markets
Bargaining power of the buyer
Indian government
Considerable. If the technology sold is latest and

appropriate - more critical in latest deals the seller has
some leeway. However once the initial equipment
purchase is done there is bound to be downstream work
with regards to spares, overhaul, life extensions, etc
where the buyer will likely have lower bargaining power
than it had when the equipment was chosen.
Bargaining power of the supplier
Indian component supplier
Medium. This would be entirely dependent on the part or

the technology that is being provided.
With respect to technology from a foreign partner Currently high but decreasing as budgets are being
slashed in developed markets and there is focus on
indigenization and ToT by the Indian government
Substitutes
Chemical, Biological and Nuclear weapons are the

substitutes for conventional weaponry. However these
are typically used in extreme circumstances. While there
is likely reasonable amount of spending on the nuclear
option, we believe this does not currently put pressure
on budgets for acquisition of conventional weaponry

Defence continues to be the focus area for BEL

Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) was set up at Bangalore, India, by the Government of India under
the Ministry of Defence in 1954 to meet the specialised electronic need of the Indian Defence
services. Over the years, it has grown into a multi-product, multi-technology, multi-unit company
serving the needs of customers in diverse fields in India and abroad. BEL is among an elite group
of public sector undertakings which have been conferred the Navratna status by the
Government of India. The growth and diversification of BEL over the years mirrors the advances
in electronics technology, with which BEL has kept pace
Defence contributes close to 80-85% of its revenue while civilian businesses continue to provide
the remaining 15-20%. Segments like radar, communications, network centric warfare and
weapon systems are key growth areas of the company. It is also making a foray into new
businesses like nuclear instrumentation, solar/clean energy solutions and homeland security.
Radars are one of the major business segments of the company while defence communication
equipment is another major segment.
In the near future the company will work on many strategically important projects like Akash
Weapon system, Battlefield Surveillance System, Upgraded Weapon Locating Radar, next
generation electronics warfare systems and coastal surveillance systems.

BEML
Defence
6th February 2015
Defence Exposure Will Pick Up Long Term Growth

Background
Bharat Earth Movers Ltd (BEML) was established in May 1964 as a PSU for manufacture of Rail
Coaches & Spare Parts and Mining Equipment at its Bangalore Complex. Today, the company
operates under 3 major Business verticals Mining & Construction, Defence and Rail & Metro.
In addition, Trading Division deals in other products. BEML manufactures and supplies Defence
Ground Support Equipment such as Tatra High Mobility Trucks, Recovery Vehicles, Bridge
Systems, Vehicles for Missile Projects, Tank Transportation Trailers, Milrail Wagons, Mine Ploughs,
Crash Fire Tenders, Snow Cutters, Aircraft Towing tractors, Aircraft Weapon Loading Trolley. The
company also plans to take up overhaul and upgradation of Battle Tanks with a view to assemble
and roll out the products.
BEML is one of the eight Defence PSUs in India and gets 12% of its turnover from the Defence
sector (Rs3.3bn out of total revenue of Rs28bn). Indias growing defence spending (especially
capital expenditure), modernization of military equipment, focus on indigenous production and
offset policy are likely to give a fillip to DPSUs like BEML.
Growing defence capital acquisition budget to benefit BEML: BEML, with decades of
experience in defence sector, is likely to benefit from this increase in defence spending. Defence
product sales have been growing for BEML till FY11, however FY13 was a dampener (23% decline
in sales) due to supply side issues.
Bullish on Aerospace space: BEML launched its aerospace vertical in 2007 to exploit the
potential of the e-engineering services in the aerospace domain with support from the new
Aerospace Manufacturing Division launched during Aero India 2009. The facility is located in
Mysore Complex of BEML.
Plans to expand defence product range to address opportunity: BEML is planning to expand
its defence product range to meet long term procurement plan of MoD through technology tieups and R&D development. The Palakkad plant was set up exclusively to manufacture Defence
products. BEML has entered into manufacturing of Ground Handling/Ground support equipment
and Tooling for Aerospace industry through its Aerospace Manufacturing Division.
Offset to result in higher export: With an obligation for foreign players to source at least 30% of
any defence order exceeding Rs3bn, a lot of business is likely to ensue to domestic players like
BEML. Export revenue for BEML has grown at a CAGR of 18% from FY06-FY13 indicating
increased traction due to offset.
Order book set to grow; Management expects Rs100bn revenue by Fy17: BEML had
~Rs61bn order backlog at the end of FY14 and it expects a decent order intake in FY15 from
defence, mining and construction. This gives strong revenue visibility to the company in the near
term. The company has a strategy to reach Rs100bn revenue scale by FY17.

Tata Group
6th February 2015
Integrated Defence Solutions Provider

The Tata Group has been present in defence, homeland security and disaster
management space for many years now. We believe that the presence of group can
be best explained by role each Tata Group company today plays in providing
defence solutions. For example, when Tata Motors agrees to supply trucks for the
Indian Army, Tata Advanced Materials can supply armour for the trucks. When Tata
Infotech supplies computer hardware to defence establishments, TCS can arm the
equipment with hi-tech software. When Tata Power's strategic electronics division
provides software for the Pinaka multiple-barrel rocket launcher, Tata Motors offers
its 4-tonne truck chassis to mount and transport the system.
Tata Advanced Systems:
Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL), a fully-owned subsidiary of TATA Sons, is
addressing the business areas of Defence, Aerospace, Aero-Structures and Homeland
Security. Tata Advanced Systems is both a holding and an operational company. The
company is establishing critical manufacturing capabilities through strategic alliances
and collaborations with Global Technology Majors
Tata Industrial Services:
Role is to facilitate industrial collaborations between foreign OEMs and Indian
industry.
The Strategic Electronics Division of Tata Power :
This division has been in operation for over 30 years and has been pursuing
development and production activities for the Indian defence sector. SED successfully
developed the multi-barrel rocket launcher, Pinaka, proven in the field through
extended user trials which led to its induction into the Indian Army. The division has
developed specialised equipment for air defence and naval combat systems.
Tata Advanced Materials:
This division designs and manufactures advanced composites for high technology
functions in the aerospace, defence, medical electronics, telecom and the
transportation sectors. It is Indias largest manufacturer of personnel armour products

holds all the major defence licences and is a participant in all the major development and buy
& make programmes of the ministry of defence. Group officials said TASL had invested a little
over Rs 400 crore in the past five years and had set up production facilities spread over
450,000 sq ft across India.
The Tata Group: Integrated Defence Solutions

The Tata Group has been present in defence, homeland security and disaster management space for many years. We believe that

Sea Mines
Sea mines are critical to modern naval strategy both for

offensive and defensive maneuvers. Deposited strategically,
they detonate on approach or contact with an enemy
submarine or ship. Sea mines grant the Navy maximum
flexibility for strategic deployment against a variety of threats.
To ensure the safety of the launch pad, our sea mines are built
with arming delays and safeties. They work in three primary
modes (pressure, acoustic, and magnetic) to accurately detect,
classify, and discriminate between targets and enable a logicbased attack. Equipped with countermeasures against antimine technology and anti-sweeping devices, our mines offer an
extended operational lifespan. Designed for performance in
both deep and shallow water, our sea mines protect our coasts
by forcing enemy ships into defendable channels, barring entry
into secure areas, and disrupting shipping routes.
Torpedo Decoy
Launchers
MDS has set up a naval systems facility in Pune to build cuttingedge Torpedo Decoy Launchers based on the requirement of
Indian Navy for a new s sophisticated Anti-Torpedo Defense
System (ATDS), . A critical part of ATDS Anti-Torpedo Defense
System strategy, MDSs torpedo decoy launchers protects
frontline ships in the Indian Navy by drawing torpedoes away
and detonating them harmlessly in the ocean.
In the event of a torpedo attack, MDS torpedo decoy launchers
can be remotely controlled to fire a decoy to a predetermined
location. Each decoy launcher weighs 1,000 kg for easy
maneuverability in the field. With electro-pneumatic controls
and remote, local, and emergency firing modes, they adapt to
unpredictable defense situations

Between 1982 1992, Rolta was primarily involved in data processing, but, soon
realized that the strength of it was in undertaking geospatial and engineering design
work for defence, utilities, municipalities and homeland security.
Between 1993 2002, Rolta stepped up its global operations by executing number of
geospatial and engineering design services projects, by setting up subsidiaries in US,
EU and ME, thus overseas revenues accounted for 56% of FY13 revenues.
Between 2003-2007, After penetrating the Indian Defence market with success, Rolta
entered into strategic joint ventures with the global leaders like Thales of France (to
expand the addressable Indian defence market) and also with Stone & Webster of US,
for executing end-to-end engineering design projects globally, and more so in the
nuclear vertical. Subsequently in FY2011, Rolta exited the joint venture with Stone and
Webster by monetizing it, with a gain of Rs1.04bn.
In 2008, the company realized that continuing with its services focused strategy could
lead to margin erosion, as the lower end of the services like (1) based mapping and
image processing and (2) GIS data and system integration work could get increasingly
commoditized. In order to ensure that, the company did not slip on the profit margins,
the management took the decision to embark on an IP led model to serve segments
like (1) business data overlay, (2) business intelligence functionality, (3) advanced
analytics and decision support and (4) technical support and maintenance.
Because of the overseas acquisitions the company could move the average order
size from US$ 5 12mn range to upwards of US$15 30m. By combining domain
knowledge in geospatial (2D and 3D mapping), engineering (for plant design and
layout) and through IT services, Rolta in the recent past won reasonably large contracts
from customers like Northern Power Grid of UK, (contract size of US$15mn), Memphis
Light Gas & Water of USA, (contract size of US$31mn) and very recently won a US$25mn
order from Abu Dhabi Municipality with stiff competition from some of the global
vendors. In addition to the above, Rolta won a reasonably large size order from
SADARA, (joint venture company between Saudi Arabian Oil Company and Dow
Chemical Company).
