Inevitable...our chai biskoot PSUs are falling behind the private sector especially the likes of TASL, TBAL, Kalyani etc...TASL especially is well placed to become a major defense supplier due to the extensive supply chain and in--house capabilities they have built. This is why I say competition is always good. The Congis and Comies put the private sector in a cage and now the BJP government is opening up, fully realizing that if we dont advance our defense manufacturing ecosystem, no one in the world is going to respect anything we have to say. And we are going to get our butts kicked by the PLAdyboys. Better late than never, I guess.
Good move.

Nice writeup to vent the buildup frustration on DPSUs, but it has nothing to do with what the news or the proposal is about.
Please read it again. It has nothing to do with the chai-biskoot babudom or ongoing DRDO projects.

This move is to transform drdo into DARPA like agency where it's domain is restricted to advanced technologies and not playing catchup game of developing technologies with multiple domain and with lesser budget.

Shouldn't VLSRSAM be 50 km at the very least? I mean CAMM, which is based on ASRAAM's motor, can do 25 km.

Also Akash 1S is now Akash Prime if I am not wrong (yes its for mountains specifically, but what stops them from using the same in the plains and deserts?), and its range should also be a bit more than the non-seeker version of Akash, maybe around 40 km?
