With a view to achieve greater self reliance in Defence production, the Defence Industry was opened up for Indian Private Sector participation in May 2001 with FDI permissible upto 26%, subject to licensing. The `Make` Procedure was promulgated in 2006 to encourage indigenous development. Government included a categorization `BUY & MAKE (Indian)` in the Defence Procurement Procedure in November, 2009 to encourage indigenous production. There is also provision for 30% offset obligation in all Capital Acquisitions categorized as Buy (Global) or Buy & Make with ToT where the estimated cost of the acquisition proposal is Rs.300 crore or more.
