The Government has received suggestions from Indian industry chambers for reviewing certain clauses of Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP) 2016.  These suggestions include reduction in time from Request for Information (RFI) to procurement, assessment of combined financial and technical bids of the partners in consortium, Government to bear the development and prototype cost of the equipment offered in case of retraction of Request for Proposal (RFP), Purchase price preference for higher indigenous content, providing price indexation for Long Term Contracts due to high cost of capital and inflation vis-à-vis foreign original equipment manufacturer (OEM), fixing of timeline for inspection etc.  All such suggestions are examined and considered by the Government while reviewing the Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP), which is a continuous exercise.
