CDS Flags Slow Defence Procurement Process
Hindustan Times
|March 20, 2025
Chief of defence staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan on Wednesday flagged concerns about slow defence procurement procedures in India and their impact on the absorption of new technologies -- at a time when the government is taking steps to tighten acquisition timelines and simplify weapon-buying processes to boost the military's capabilities.
"We have problems like our procurement procedures are so slow that it is difficult to imbibe technology at the rate the armed forces would want to," he said, speaking during a session at the Raisina Dialogue 2025. Procuring military hardware can take years under India's weapon-buying rules.
