Soaring Capabilities EDITORIAL BUSINESS AND POLITICS OF ARMING INDIA MARCH 2021 Soaring Capabilities India’s AeroIndia 2021 showcased local aviation sector’s growth through HAL’s projects MARCH 2021 1 BUSINESS AND POLITICS OF ARMING INDIA Sample Market Reports For Commissioning Reports and for Pricing, Contact Us: IndoStrat Enterprises Phone: +91 9871050869 Email: [email protected] EDITORIAL Dear Reader, s we were wrapping up this March 2021 edition for you, there were some incredibly positive Adevelopments on the India-Pakistan border front. The two nations’ armies agreed on main- taining and following the Nov. 2003 ceasefire agreement in toto and that has raised the spirits of the people of the two nations, particularly those living on the borders who faced the brunt of the sniping that the two forces have been at for seven decades now. However, this is a peace that has come at a high cost. Coupled with the withdrawal of the troops at some key locations on the Line of Actual Control between India and China such as the Pangong Tso and Galwan Valley, there are good tidings visible for overall peace in South Asia. These developments must be welcomed by one and all seeking prosperity to the people of the region. These positives are the way forward, provided Pakistan and China are sincere in implementing these peace agreements in letter and spirit. India needs to trust the two neighbours on the West and the North regarding their claims. But it need not be blind faith. India should verify each step down that path and not take the peace claims at face value. This caution has to stem from the experiences of the past and the history of military affairs among the three nuclear-armed nations. As also, for a better future. While this is so on the geopolitics front in India’s neighbourhood, Defence.Capital is happy to share with you that it has tied up with Defence Research and Studies (DRaS), a Kochi-based think-tank of military and strategic affairs experts, on content sharing, and is happy to bring some of the chosen articles and views from DRaS in this edition for your reading pleasure. Since the AeroIndia 2021 show has just got over last month, this edition brings to you through the visual medium on what transpired at the air show. We have good choice of photographs that we have shared to showcase the biennial event in case any of you had missed it. There were several Memoranda of Understanding that were signed at the AeroIndia 2021. Defence.Capital in the past have compiled such MoUs for your benefit. This year too, we have done so. But we shall share the list that we compiled in our later editions. This is something you would look forward to, am sure. After over a year of publication, Defence.Capital is currently carrying out a review of what it has done and if this direction needs to continue or change for the better. That process, we expect to complete in a month or two. We shall keep you updated regarding the changes or continua- tion in our editorial strategy soon, by the middle of this year. Till that time and in the future, we urge you to support Defence.Capital in its endeavours, which is to help you do your business much more profitably. We also request your feedback on the content of this publication and suggestions on how we can improve it to serve you better. Am keenly looking forward to all your letters and emails in this regard. Some of the best ones will be carried in the subsequent editions. We are also looking for testimonials from our es- teemed readers, who are the decision-makers from the Ministry of Defence and the armed forc- es, industry leaders and researchers from think-tanks. Happy reading and thank you for all the support and feedback. NC Bipindra Editor Editor: N. C. Bipindra Creative Editor: Shajan C.

  • Ch 8- Defence Audit
    DEFENCE AUDIT 383 8 Defence Audit Audit of Defence Services is one of the most important audits of C&AG in terms of coverage and materiality. Defence audit has a chequered history as already briefly narrated in Chapter-1. Audit of defence transactions is done on the basis of records produced by the Ministry, the Services and allied organisations. The financial records are obtained from the various Controllers of Defence Accounts (CDA). In addition, the Plans of the three Services and the budget of the Ministry of Defence are relied upon while drawing out the audit strategy. Information available through internet and reputed defence publications helps Audit in discharge of its mandate. This branch of audit has often drawn maximum attention of the media and Parliament in the post 1990 era for some of the Audit Reports and paras presented to Parliament. In 1989, it was C&AG’s Report on Bofors that created a furore in press and Parliament. In 2001, it was C&AG’s Report on Kargil War purchases (Operation Vijay). Other Reports that drew widespread attention were: ‘Design and Development of Main Battle Tank Arjun’* (Report No.7 of 1998), Development of Multi Barrel Rocket Launcher System* (the Report appeared in 1999) and Aircraft Accidents in Indian Air Force (Report of 1998)*. The reasons for Defence Audit Reports getting so much wide publicity are not difficult to see. At Rs. 86,000 crore, defence expenditure is the third largest Central Government expenditure, first two being interests and subsidies. Every adult citizen of the country is deeply conscious of defence preparedness and issues involved in this.
