Offset Policy framework
I shall basically discuss the road map which we have offsets in the country. We in fact have a very good phrase called quasi direct offsets for our system. It is not as direct as is understood internationally and a foreign OEM can in fact buy ships from India if they were to supply multi-role combat aircrafts. While this is true of all the offset proposals in the Ministry of Defence, I would like to mention that barring two or three cases, all cases are in fact ‘direct’ as is internationally known.
