Why is this green hurdle issue raised again and again for compromising the nation's security? 
Nation's security is the first choice and other things come after that.

Defence Shipyards Lose Out to Private Players: Antony
New Delhi: India's defence public sector shipyards have lost to private players for construction of a number of naval vessels in recent times, Defence Minister A.K. Antony informed the Lok Sabha.
In written reply to questions, Antony said the defence shipyards have cited higher wages for its workers and time overruns for procurement of material for ship construction have pushed the cost of its shipbuilding.
The contracts for which the private shipyards have scored over the defence shipyards included naval offshore patrol vessels, barges, hovercraft, fast patrol vessels, interceptor boars, cadet training ships and fast interceptor craft.
"Defence shipyards lost to private yards (for these vessels)," Antony said.
"The defence shipyard have indicated that major reasons of losing out are ... higher wage rates for the labour and thereby increase in overheads, and longer time taken to procure the materials by observing the laid down procedures thus pushing up their prices," he added.
For indigenously building ships and other naval craft, the defence shipyards are, in accordance with the defence procurement procedure, 2011, awarded some contracts on nomination basis, while other contracts are awarded on competitive basis.
"The shipyards are participating with private yards in an open competition. In some of the cases, they have lost out to private shipyards," Antony said.
To enhance their competitive edge in future, measures are being taken, including modernisation of the defence shipyards with latest state-of-the-art facilities and introducing modern integrated construction methodology, strengthening of design and production facilities, and induction of manpower both at the skilled worker level and at management level.
In reply to another question, Antony told the house that Indian Navy has experience in successfully designing difference classes of warships.
"The experience has enabled the Indian Navy to embark upon the design and construction of the indigenous aircraft carrier at Cochin Shipyard Limited, Kochi," he said.
Antony noted that the Indian Navy has sought inputs from abroad in specialised areas of design such as the propulsion system integration and aviation facilities complex.
The government accorded sanction in January 2003 for construction of the Indigenous Aircraft Carrier in CSL and the construction of the warship is underway there at present.

India is developing AIP technology for Submarines
The DRDO proposes to develop a technology to reduce vulnerability of the Submarines available with the Indian Navy. Naval Material Research Laboratory (NMRL), Ambernath, under Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is progressing a technology demonstration project "Development of Land-based Prototype for Air Independent Propulsion (AIP)" for submarine propulsion.
Vulnerability of a submarine can be reduced by increasing its underwater endurance (dived conditions).
Normally diesel electric generators are used to charge the batteries that provide propulsion power when the submarine is in dived conditions. To run the generators the submarine has to surface for taking in air and throwing out the exhaust.
Using AIP system, submarine can charge the batteries without surfacing.
The full scale operations of such System is likely to be demonstrated by 2015.
This information was given by Defence Minister Shri AK Antony in written reply to Shri Dhruva Narayana in Lok Sabha today.

4-day navy celebrations sink ferry owners' dreams
2011-11-30 | Place: Mumbai
The Navy puts up a grand show annually to commemorate India's victory in the 1971 war against Pakistan on December 3-4. However this year the Navy wants to indulge in the celebrations for four days, instead of two (Dec 1-4).
The Navy has already written to the Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT) asking to it keep the port around the Gateway of India shut for the commercial boats. However, the move has not gone down well with ferryboat owners, who have decided to protest against it.
Disrupting business: Boat owners complain that the Navy's celebratory display near the Gateway of India spells financial losses for them, as the port remains closed for business. Representation Pics
'A great loss'
According to the boat owners, the closures of the port during celebrations near the Gateway of India leads to irreplaceable financial loss for those dependent on ferries for their livelihood.
And with the navy deciding to extend its celebrations by a couple of days, the losses will also double up for the ferry owners.
Boat owners speak
Requesting anonymity, a ferryboat owner said, "We have been taken for granted. Hence we receive these sudden notices asking us to shut our business. With peak season on, this closure is going to break our back.
However, we have no choice but to abide by the notice issued by the MbPT of keeping business shut during celebrations."
The owner further alleged that the MbPT has planned to shut down the entire harbour from Dec 16 to Dec 21 for an international boat show. "Though we have been verbally informed, we are yet to receive an official letter about the boat show."
Despite repeated attempts, MPT Chairperson, Shrikant Singh remained unavailable for comment.
Navy Day
Every year, the Indian Navy commemorates India's victory in the 1971 war against Pakistan on December 4, for which the navy celebrates for two days starting Dec 3.

Indian Navy puts pirates in troubled waters
Saturday, Dec 3, 2011
The number of ships hijacked this year has been reduced to about half of last year's number, thanks to the robust anti-piracy efforts of the Indian Navy as well as other navies patrolling the Indian Ocean.
Last year, 125 attempts were made to hijack ships, only49 were successful. This year, the pirates succeeded only 25 times.Flag Officer Commanding in Chief, Western Naval Command, Vice Admiral DK Joshi addressed the media two days before Navy Day (December 4)on board the aircraft carrier INS Viraat, docked off the coast of Mumbai. He stated that the navy's increased monitoring of the seas had brought down the Somali pirates' strike rate. In fact, the navy was now more likely to seize the arms, ammunition and other instruments used for piracy, and allow the pirates to go rather than arrest them.
"One reason for this is India does not have a proper law against piracy on the high seas," said another senior naval officer, "so it is difficult to prosecute the pirates, and they just end up crowding our prisons."
The admiral spoke on a several issues ranging from coastal security to naval anxieties in the South China Seas to high-rise buildings in Mumbai overlooking docks and naval establishments.
He dismissed stories that the navy was campaigning against an upcoming Worli high-rise, slated to be over 100 storeys. "That area does not come under the navy's purview. Of course we will look into it, but as of now we have no concerns," he said.
In contrast, the chief of the Western Naval Command said the Harsiddhi building directly overlooked a naval establishment, which is why the navy had objected.
When queried about the sinking of the INS Vindhyagiri, he pointed out that the matter was sub judice.

Fast interceptor boats to beef up coastal security
Saturday, Dec 3, 2011
In an attempt to prevent 26/11-like attacks, the Indian Navy will induct 80 fast interceptor craft (FIC). The navy has signed a deal with a Sri Lankan shipyard company for the purpose. The FIC will enable the 1,000-strong Sagar Prahari Bal (SPB), created after the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, to enhance patrolling and interception operations.
"There has been an increase of about 70 per cent in naval shop deployment and a 100 per cent jump in aircraft deployments towards coastal security tasking after 26/11. With the induction of these additional FIC, efficiency of Sagar Prahari Bal would be enhanced," said navy chief Admiral Nirmal Verma.
"To further improve the capability of India's coastal security, a case for phase-2 of coastal security augmentation has been initiated. Under this initiative, additional assets, patrol vessels, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, special forces, manpower and forward operation basis have been proposed,'' said Admiral Verma.
According to Indian Navy, these fast interceptor boats have a maximum speed of 50 nautical miles per hour. These would be used by the navy to intercept suspicious boats along the coasts. They will also be used for preventing crimes such as poaching and smuggling, apart from counter-terror operations.
The navy chief expressed his concern on the issue of Chinese submarines with long-range missiles. But he added that the Indian Navy is looking at upgrading its fleet.
"Navy is looking at a fleet of 150 ships and 500 aircraft by 2025, which will include helicopters, maritime reconnaissance aircraft and fighters," said Admiral Verma. Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh is being considered for raising an amphibious training facility, he said.
The admiral attributed the delays in the launch of indigenous aircraft carrier to shortage of critical equipment.

I guess they can easily have those numbers as it include helicopters and other support planes. 500 wont be number of fighter planes.
