Indian Army Approves Five make II Projects Providing Impetus to “Atma Nirbhaarta”

In News 
  • Recently, the Indian Army has approved five Project Sanction Orders (PSOs) for the development of niche technology by the Indian industry under the Make-II route of defence procurement.
MAKE-II category 
  • The ‘Make’ category of capital acquisition in the Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP) is a vital pillar for realising the vision behind the ‘Make in India’ initiative of the Government of India.
  • The DPP was first initiated in 2002 by the Ministry of Defence to streamline the procurement of military hardware for the Armed Forces in a systematic and time-bound manner.
  • It was reformed in 2016, putting an emphasis on indigenously designed, developed and manufactured weapon systems and eventually moving towards self-reliance in the field of defence manufacturing.
  • Make-I (Government Funded): Projects under this will involve Government funding of 90%, released in a phased manner, based on the progress of the program.
  • Make-II (Industry Funded): It involves prototype development of equipment/system/platform or their upgrades, primarily for import substitution or innovative solutions, for which no Government funding will be provided.
