1.The provision of ‘Make’ category of capital acquisition in Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP) is a vital pillar for realising the vision behind the ‘Make in India’ initiative of the Government, by fostering indigenous capabilities through design & development of required defence equipment/product/systems or upgrades/ sub-systems/components /parts by both public and private sector industry/organization in a faster time frame.
‘Make’ Procedure has following two sub-categories:
Make-I (Government Funded): Projects under ‘Make-I’ sub-category will involve Government funding of 90%, released in a phased manner and based on the progress of the scheme, as per terms agreed between MoD and the vendor.
Make-II (Industry Funded): Projects under 'Make-II' category will involve prototype development of equipment/ system/ platform or their upgrades or their sub-systems/ sub-assembly/assemblies/ components, primarily for import substitution/innovative solutions, for which no Government funding will be provided for prototype development purposes.
In Feb 2018, Government has notified a separate, simplified procedure for sub-category ‘Make-II’ which has many industry friendly provisions.
Industry can now submit their proposals, suo-moto to Nodal officers of concerned SHQ under this procedure as per the prescribed format downloadable here.
Interested Indian companies may visit the other sections of the webpage to assess project specific details and carry out preliminary assessment regarding their technical capability to undertake these projects and economic viability of the project and respond accordingly.
The ‘Make-II’ projects listed on the website have been divided into two lists:
List-1: contains the potential ‘Make’ projects for which ‘Approval -in-Principle(AIP)’ has been accorded as per new 'Make-II' procedure and are being progressed for accord of Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) by SHQs.
List-2: contains the projects which are at exploratory stages & the process of preliminary Feasibility study is under way.
The list of ‘Make-II’ projects uploaded on this website is dynamic in nature and the projects which are relevant to the requirements of Indian Armed forces are uploaded from time to time.
