Defence Procurement Policy

Government constantly reviews the security scenario and accordingly decides to induct appropriate defence equipment/platforms. Acquisition of weapons and equipment for defence forces during the last 14 years was carried out as per Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP), as revised from time to time and as per Long Term Integrated Perspective Plan (LTIPP), Services Capital Acquisition Plan and Annual Acquisition Plans. Capital Procurements for Defence are currently being progressed as per the current LTIPP (2012-27).

This information was given by Defence Minister Shri Manohar Parrikar in a written reply to Shri Naresh Agrawal in Rajya Sabha today.
