STRATEGIC ELECTRONICS SUMMIT 2013Post Show Report
2ndAugust, 2013, HAL Convention Centre, Bengaluru
The 4th
Strategic Electronics Summit 2013 (SES 2013) Defence & Aerospace, was organisedby ELCINA in Bengaluru on 2ndAugust, 2013 at HAL Convention Centre. The idea of SES wasmooted by the ELCINA Executive Committee in 2009. It recognized the potential of this sectorand the Indian industrys special skills in the high technology low volume production.
ELCINA identified the following key factors, which inspired us to focus on strategic electronics-
Rapid and supportive changes in Government thinking regarding Defence Production
as well as Procurement Policies. Encouraging indigenous production and value addition,as well as participation by SMEs
Large and growing budgets for the Defence & Homeland Security
Greater importance of defence avionics, as well as, an expanding aviation industry
Increasing threat in dependence on imports, for national security equipment
High potential for employment and revenue generation
Capability and keenness of the Indian industry to participate in manufacturing
SES 2010, 2011 & 2012 Successfully Brought Industry, DefenceEstablishment & Government Together !
Earlier editions of Strategic Electronic Summits demonstrated great interest and opportunity
that the industry saw in the Strategic Electronics sector and participated wholeheartedly.Deliberations and discussions were intense and passionate between all stakeholders. There
were over 120 participating companies and 200 delegates at the SES in 2012.
With Honble Shri MM Pallam Raju, Ministerof State for Defence as the Chief Guest in 2010,Air Marshal Jagdish Chandra, DG System, Air Hq. in 2011 & Honble Shri Pallam Raju theChief Guest once again in 2012 and top officials from Defence and Department of IT as
Guests of Honour, the earlier three editions of the Summit proved to be an excellent forumfor sharing of views with top policy makers. Subsequent to SES 2010 and 2011, ELCINA
presented the Defence Ministry with its recommendations and we believe that some of the
key issues have been addressed in the new Defence Production Policy 2011, which wasreleased in January 2011, specially in favour of SMEs.

STATUS OF INDUSTRY AND OPPORTUNITIES
The Strategic Electronics sector presents an unprecedented opportunity as well as challenge
for our country. This is equally so for the domestic industry which needs to play a muchgreater role in this sector. The strategic electronics segment encompasses Communication
systems, Radars & Sonars, Network Centric systems, Electronic Warfare systems, Weapon
systems, Satellite based Communication, Navigation and Surveillance systems, Navigationalaids, underwater electronic systems, infra-red based detection and ranging system, disastermanagement system, internal security systems .. the list is long. All modern weapon
systems, military, aerospace, naval or for internal security depend heavily on electronics.
The production of strategic electronics in India has been growing steadily from Rs 5700crores in 2007-08 to Rs.9000 crores during 2010-11. As per projected growth rates,
electronics production in Defence Sector in India is likely to reach Rs.12,000 crores during
2012-13 and exceed Rs 13,800 Crores during 2013-14 recording a growth of over 15%.This growth is fuelled by the expanding budgetary allocation for Defence Sector which
jumped from Rs. 164,415 crores in 2011-2012 to Rs. 193,407 crores in 2012-13 and further
allocation has been increased by 5% to Rs 2,03,672 crore for 2013-14 with provision forfurther funding depending on actual requirements.
Of this, Capital expenditure, which mostly caters for modernisation requirements, accounted
for Rs 79,579 crores in 2012-13 and was increased by 9% to Rs 86,741 Crores in 2013-14.
The Defence Procurement Procedure 2011 for capital equipment has come into effect from
January 2011 and incorporates simplifying the purchase mechanism. The scope of the offsetpolicy guidelines have been expanded to include civil aerospace, internal security and
training within the ambit of eligible products and services for discharging offset obligationsoffering an immense growth opportunity for domestic electronics manufacturers serving
Defence segment.
For the first time in India, a Defence Production Policy was announced and became effective
from 1 January, 2011. The objectives of the Policy are to achieve substantive self-reliancein the design, development and production of entire range of Defence equipments and
encourage SMEs to play an active role in this endeavor.
SES brings this opportunity to domestic players and endeavors to bring about partnershipswith global players who are vital for meeting the strategic needs of the country.
Offset Policy - a new beginning for domestic playersIndia's defence offset policy is being seen as a key driver for growth and modernization of
the defence industry base. Modified in 2009 & 2013, it is expected to provide manufacturingand business opportunities of Rs.40,000 crores over the next five years and has openeddoors for private players, mainly domestic players.
Following are the highlights of the amendments to the DPP-2011 which have been brought
into effect from 1stJune 2013:
1. Prioritisation of Various Categories for Capital Acquisitions under Defence
Procurement ProcedurePreference for indigenous procurement in the Defence Production Policy 2011 has now beenmade a part of DPP through an amendment that provides for a preferred order of
categorization, with global cases being a choice of last resort.
2. Release of Public Version of Long Term Integrated Perspective Plan (LTIPP)The DAC has approved the release of a public version of its 15-year perspective document(LTIPP), outlining the Technology Perspective and Capability Roadmap (TPCR) against
LTIPP 2012-2027. s and directing its R&D and technology investments.
3. Maintenance ToT (MToT) no longer through Nomination
-
8/12/2019 Post Show Report - SES 2013 10Sep13- FINAL
9/14
MToT has been hitherto reserved largely for OFB and DPSUs through the nominationprocess. The DPP does away with nomination by Department of Defence Production and
facilitates selection of MToT partners by Indian bidders.4. Advance Consultations for Make ProcedureThe DAC has approved an amendment mandating consultations to begin sufficiently inadvance of actual procurement by Service Head Quarters (SHQs), so that capital acquisition
plans can be translated into national defence R&D and production plans.5. Simplification of Buy & Make (Indian) ProcedureThe DAC has approved an amendment further simplifying this complex category.
6. Clear Definition of Indigenous Content
To enhance indigenization, indigenous content has now been defined in an unambiguousmanner, providing requisite clarity and a common understanding.7. Ensuring faster progress in Make and Buy & Make (Indian) cases
The Ministry has a limited number of acquisition cases under Make and Buy & Make(Indian) categories, with an estimated value of Rs. 1,20,000 crore. Instructions have been
issued for speedier conclusion of these cases.8. Defence Items List
The Defence Items List has been finalised by the Ministry and sent to DIPP for notification,which will bring required clarity in the licensing process.
9. Licensing for Dual Use ItemsThe Ministry has categorically clarified to DIPP that dual-use items will not require licensing,thereby bringing added clarity to the licensing process.
10. Consultations on Security Guidelines for Indian Defence IndustryIt is expected that a complete security framework with guidelines for Indian private
industries participating in defence cases will be in place in the near future.11. Resolution of Tax-related Issues
Resolution of deemed exports status for certain defence projects and rationalisation of taxand duty structures impinging on the Indian defence industry has been taken up by the MoD
with the Ministry of Finance.
12. Funds for MSMEs in the Defence SectorThe Defence Production Policy 2011 requires the setting-up of a fund to provide necessary
resources for development of defence equipment. In order to ensure regular supply of fundsto MSMEs involved in manufacturing of defence products, SIDBI has decided to earmark an
amount of Rs. 500 crore for providing loans, and further, a fund of Rs. 50 crore for equitysupport out of India Opportunities Fund managed by its subsidiary, namely, SIDBI
Venture Capital Ltd.
13. Efficiency and Transparency in Defence ProcurementA stipulation to freeze the SQRs before the Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) stage has been
accorded, and the validity of AoN has also been reduced from two years to one year.14. Enhanced Delegation of Financial Powers
The financial powers of Service Chiefs/ DG Coast Guard have been enhanced from Rs. 50crore to Rs. 150 crore for capital acquisition cases.
15. Powers to DACApproval for all deviations from the Defence Procurement Procedure will henceforth be
sought from the Defence Acquisition Council instead of the Defence Minister.
The Offset opportunity is expected to bring in large volumes of business the size of thisopportunity is estimated at USD 10-15 Billion over the next 4-7 years.The current global defence expenditure was over US$ 1.465 Trillion with US being the
largest with 40% share while Indias share was 2.1% (~US$30 Bn+). India is currently
among the top 10 spenders worldwide with its defence expenditure growth at about 9.3%.Indias defence Expenditure was distributed as follows - 46% on the army, 30% on airforce, 19% on navy & balance 6% others. A larger share of capital expenditure went to the
Air Force at 40%, the Army got 28%, Navy 25% and 7% to others.

K. S. Desikan, CFO, Centum Electronics made a detailed presentation on Policy &Procedural Challenges faced by Private Companies In Business with Defence Sector. Being
one of the key domestic companies in this sector in India, Mr Desikan shared theirexperiences and challenges faced by manufacturers in being successful vendors to thedefence sector. He highlighted the need for a change in approach and policies as the currentdispensation made it very difficult for new entrants and even for the existing private players
to expand and become of large/global scale.
The Conference concluded with a Panel Discussion on How to build a VibrantIndian Defence Industry in which Col Rawat, Col Kuber, participated along with Mr
Robert John, CEO, Amphenol Interconnect & Past President, ELCINA, Brig. S C Sharma,President, Axis Aerospace and Mr Pankaj Gulati, Exec. Vice President, Continental DeviceIndia Ltd.
Brig SC Sharma made a strong pitch for support to domestic companies and specially theSMEs whom he said were reluctant to enter Defence production due to high NCNC trial cost.
The cost is not in the trial but in development and production of the equipment to Armyspecifications and making it ready for trials. He further added that though the National
policy is to encourage MSMEs, this is not reflected in the Defence Procurements. In turnkeyproducts there are no NCNC trials. Brig Sharma suggested if such provisions can be
provided in Buy cases where product is ready off the shelf and that Indian Industry shouldbe able to develop items of Defence needs in collaboration with the users rather than in thecurrent system of multi tenders as if the equipment already exists on the shelf.
The event concluded with a Vote of Thanks by ELCINA Vice President Mr Subhash
Goyal. The industry leaders made a strong recommendation that ELCINA should take upthese issues directly with the Defence establishment and officials who are involved in the
purchase process. It was recommended that recommendations from the Summit would bemade to the Defence Ministry at an early date so that highlighted challenges were
addressed urgently.
