  • Erstwhile Defence Procurement Procedure Or DPP), 2020 Was Released by the Ministry of Defence (Mod)
    WEEKLY UPDATED CURRENT AFFAIRS FOR WEEK 40/52(29 SEPT-05 OCT 2020) Defence Acquisition Procedure 2020 Recently, a new Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) (erstwhile Defence Procurement Procedure or DPP), 2020 was released by the Ministry of Defence (MoD). Key Points About: The DAP contains policies and procedures for procurement and acquisition from the capital budget of the MoD in order to modernise the Armed Forces including the Coast Guard. Background: The first Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP) was promulgated in 2002. A committee under the chairmanship of Director General (Acquisition) was constituted to review the Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP) 2016. DPP 2016 was released replacing the DPP 2013 based on the recommendations of Dhirendra Singh committee. It focussed on indigenously designed, developed and manufactured weapon systems. It was facing several issues like lack of transparency (leading to Rafale Scam), inconvenient offset regulations etc. Salient Features: For Ease of Doing Business: Time Bound Defence Procurement Process and Faster Decision Making: By setting up a Project Management Unit to support contract management and to streamline the Acquisition process. Revised Offset Guidelines: Preference will be given to manufacture of complete defence products over components and various multipliers have been added to give incentivisation in discharge of offsets. Further, there will be no offset clause in government-to-government, single vendor and Intergovernmental Agreements (IGA). Offsets are a portion of a contracted price with a foreign supplier that must be re-invested in the Indian defence sector, or against which the government can purchase technology. Multipliers are credit values earned on offset transactions. A multiplier of 3 means a foreign company can claim credits upto three times of its actual offset investment.
