And quite deliberately intentioned it is. The offsets provisions under the DPP 2011 mandates ploughing back 30 per cent of the deal amount in Indian defence, aerospace and homeland security industries. Who other than foreign cos will ever like to agree to this kind of deals, unless it's a huge deal like the Rafale.<br /><br />http://events.spguidepublications.com/viewpoint1.aspAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-34561336703408363872012-05-29T09:54:06.746-07:002012-05-29T09:54:06.746-07:00Thought DPP ensured that Indian indigenuity succum...Thought DPP ensured that Indian indigenuity succumbed to foreign forces.

Hopefully the high dollar would force local companies to seek to offset costs by turning to local manufacturing in depth and source local components.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-28961450281076393162012-05-28T02:30:33.990-07:002012-05-28T02:30:33.990-07:00Heard of hedging?
