12 Nov 11. Aiming to do away with “ambiguities”, the government is reviewing its offset policy for defence deals, a senior Defence Ministry official said. As per the offset clause in the defence procurement procedure, a foreign vendor bagging deals worth over Rs 300 crore has to invest back at least 30 per cent of the worth of the deal in the Indian defence, civilian aerospace and homeland security sector.
“The review is being done to take care of ambiguity in the current policy,” Additional Secretary (Defence Finance) Amit Cowshish said while addressing a seminar at the Observers Research Foundation (ORF).
He made it clear that the government would continue with its offset policy saying there is “no question of going back on it”. (Source: Google)
