PUSHES FOR DEFENCE REFORMS
IN A SIGNIFICANT STEP TOWARD enhancing transparency, efficiency, and alignment with national priorities, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has launched a comprehensive review of the Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) 2020. The directives for such initiatives are based on the declaration of 2025 as the ‘Year of Reforms’ to modernise governance structures and policy frameworks.
The review aims to optimise DAP 2020 with evolving national policies, including the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ vision, the ‘Make in India’ initiative, keeping with the advancements in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and autonomous systems. The goal is to streamline procurement processes, ensure greater self-reliance in defence manufacturing, and enhance the operational capabilities of the Armed Forces through timely and cost-effective acquisitions.
