I will ,8th Feb 2015 last time.
India economy will stagnate without privatization. China became an economic power due to privatization. There is no reason India and other countries can't do it.There are many people in such standing committees, who make statements that have no relation with reality. This is not surprising, given that military men come up with unrealistic expectations, like the original requirements of the Arjun tank.
There is no private company that can compete with DRDO. Every private company knows that if they invest in R&D like DRDO, they will go bankrupt.
There is always a loss of revenue in R&D. Failure is part of research. Success is built on failures as well.
Ok, let's step away from guns, bullets, and tanks.India economy will stagnate without privatization. China became an economic power due to privatization. There is no reason India and other countries can't do it.
In regard to military, if India want first class military weapons it needs to disband DRDO and start the painful process of privatization. The result will be better equipments for the Indian military at a cheaper price. It will provide large amount of work of retire military personnel as well as non military citizens. It a win win for India.
In the US with a few exception our military complex is 100% privatize. R&D tax payer money is given to private companies to do R&D. For example Lockheed Martin figure out it was possible to do a Stealth plan with the current technology. They show it to the military and immediately got classified as top secret and R&D tax payer money given to Lockheed Martin to make it possible.
Let me tell you three reasons why Private Companies don't do it:Ok, let's step away from guns, bullets, and tanks.
What about skiis? What about army knives? What about military fatigues? What about optics? Why aren't private companies coming up with products and offering them to the military? Even the high altitude high yield crops have to be developed by DRDO. Name one private company that has achieved half of that?
You are trying to project the US example onto India.
We can speculate what will happen in DRDO is disbanded. I just don't see much of anything happening anytime soon.
Let private companies develop products and we can encourage them, but we need to keep our hands off DRDO. DRDO may only be privatized after one private company proves its mettle that it can match DRDO's expertise in at least a subset of fields.
The concept of governance in our democracy is way different from the US concept of democracy, where the individual is on a free wheeling trip and little concern there is for social justice and equality. It is good in a way for it encourages individualism and the self being the sole engine of his future and well being.India economy will stagnate without privatization.

still OBF is not incorporated no wonder there is no one to bother about there ! heck with the babus !The need is for government to exit manufacturing. R&D, education etc. are appropriate for government sector.
OFB must be corporatized first, and private sector needs to be given several projects. Even some R&D projects should be given to private sector. However it is necessary that government funds R&D projects given to private sector.
Nobody will do things for free.

Finnish Military Suspects Russia Copied M05 Camouflage Pattern
(Source: STT Finnish government news; issued Nov. 11, 2008)
The Finnish Defence Forces are investigating what they suspect is unauthorised copying of the M05 camouflage pattern by the Russian military, Finnish business daily Taloussanomat reported on its website Tuesday.
The M05 battledress pattern is a protected design.
According to Taloussanomat, a pattern bearing striking resemblance to the M05 had been seen in Russia's Yeger battledress in news footage.
Raija Ketola of the Finnish Defence Force's quartermaster depot was quoted as saying by Taloussanomat that the issue would be raised with the Russian authorities if need be.
Now this is what you call camouflage..Need some of these kinds in the NE region for snipers and Assault group. Known as Ghillie suit and used by the US Army after they got their hands burnt in the Vietnam
